I think it depends on whether he gets beat by Nakano? Shinya is pretty good and has a similar 250 stule to Max so setup should be similar.
Max only whinged when he thought he was getting inferiior bikes, then got teh Repsol bike and was rubbish, moaned at honda and Showa and they showed him the door quite rightly! Hasnt really moaned too much in WSBK! |

It should be a good year for World Supers, I was going to go to PI as we were going to be racing as a support class, but we were cut, so I am not going now. Hope the BMWs will be up the front, not that I like BMW but I hope they are not another Patronas.

Well to be honest the only real problem with Petronas was that the rules changed after the bike was built and homologated, allowing them only a 900cc engine against the 1000cc units.
Whether this would have made a massive difference I dont know but the team, setup, engineers, riders and factory etc were state of the art. The bike was poorly designed in some areas and aspects of it were out of Foggy's hands like the engine, the chassis was world class. I think BMW are a little more likely to eb able to react to problems and also they ahve been building bikes for a while! |

We are set for a very exciting year, with both the BMW's and Aprilia's getting into the mix and shaking things up. MotoGP is very good at coming off the back foot and putting on an epic show so lets not rule them out. Only question, is there enough hours in my Sunday to cover off GP, WSB, BSB!?! Also, which races would you recommend attending, I'll certainly be at the British legs, but how about Europe, any recomendations?
