What are WCM doing next year?
Question in the title.... they don't appear on motogp.com and their own website doesn't say much about their plans.

Moriwaki is a Japanese chassis/frame specialist. They will be using the Honda V5 engine. WCM are teamed up with Harris and based in the UK.

Sounds like an itneresting concept - maybe someone who's more au fait with the techncial side can explain how it'd work, and whether it's likely to be successful?
I knwo the team was in the frame to become the satellite Ducati squad - maybe they can get a deal to run last year's machinery from someone else? It will depend on the riders though. To be honest, neither Burns nor de Gea had any experience or real aptitude for the task last season. |
