Baros to WSBK??
Apprently Alex Baros is considering a switch to WSBK for 2006 with a Honda team, providing he can't get a seat in Motogp. It'd spell the end of a 13 year motogp career which could still be salvaged by a return to Yamaha. Apprenlty Yamaha are willing to offer Baros to Gaulioses for free in return for them staying on, as Baros still owes them $2m for breaking his contract from 2004.

I hope he gets out of MotoGP. He is just one of many riders who have been around for too long now and taking up spaces for better riders coming up through the ranks.

Is he related to Milan Baros? How difficult is it to get the spelling right, with so much information readily available online?
Ten Kate have already signed 2 riders, and Klaffi appear to have a line-up decided upon, so I'm not sure which team would run him and be able to offer a competitive package. MotoGP veterans going into WSBK rarely do as well as you'd expect anyway. |

Yeah Boots I cannot see him on a decent bike in WSBK next season. It's still privateers that have empty seats, but will he consider a ride on a privateer Kawasaki or Yamaha
In fact there's still some free space in US and BSB, with very good bikes and teams, not always factory (in fact almost all AMA factory rides are full). |
