Fodder

The testing ban has been lifted.... YAY!! All of the MotoGP teams, except for Ilmor, will be back on track Monday to continue smacking around the new herd of 800's. Ilmor will not take part in the first session in Jerez, nor will they be present for the second session in Phillips Island. They will patiently wait for Jeremy McWilliams to heal 100% before they continue with testing. As for the rest of the teams.... GAME ON!!

In recent news, Casey Stoner got hitched. Yea, I didn't think it was legal for 12 year olds to get married either.... but as it turns out, he's of-age, as is his new bride, Adriana. All the best to you kids :)

Casey and Adriana

YAMAHA!!!! When are you going to announce a sponsor?? They have signed on for the 2007 season as Factory Yamaha naming no official sponsor. It's very possible they will self-sponsor... but why? Telefonica (Movistar) will not sponsor Renault in F1 in '07. It just makes sense that they would come back to MotoGP. I have also heard rumors or Fiat throwing their wallet into the ring. It's all interesting, but I am growing tired of it. I suppose we will all find out soon enough.... patience is a virtue (poppycock!!!).

Ducati unveiled the new bullet. It is indeed stunning ....

Team KR also revealed Kenny Jr's ride for 2007. The KR212V....

And I am sure you have all seen the new Ilmor X3, but I thought I should plaster it on here anyway.....

I am excited to see the new livery this year..... if March 10th will ever get here!

That's about all that's new-ish on the MotoGP stage. Since things are beginning to crank back up, I am sure that I will have some more fodder soon.....

Until next time......

Rubb'er Down :)
