Where did McCoy find another 1.5 Secs? There must have been some
breakthrough there. McWilliams, Haslam, Pitt and Skakey Byrne are all
chasing that ride.

Now KR and KRJr have proven themselves front runners will they get the
sponsorship to run a second bike?

And Guintoli? I guess we have to have at least one weird choice on a
totally uncompetitive bike. Apparently Yamaha wanted a French rider.

How long do we and the riders have to wait before the Kawasaki 800
surfaces?

Those were the days, eh? There used to be lots of stories like that out
of Italy. Some wood working shop, or washing machine manufacturer, or
tractors or helicopters with a boss that's so obsessed with racing he
gives over a corner of the factory to building a race bike.
