Hislop - Yamaha, Plater - Honda
The transfer market is open. Steve Hislop has resigned for the Virgin Mobile Yamaha squad to defend his title. Following the new that Honda's WSBK team were switching to the BSB series, was followed by Steve Plater turning his back on an agreement with Yamaha and signing up to ride the SP-2 that won Colin Edwards the WSBK title. And Yukio Kagayama has signed for the Cresent Suzuki team. I don't know where this leaves Karl harris though!

Karl Harris will apparently partner Plater at Castrol Honda.
As far as i know Crafar will still be at Virgin Yamaha. On the Castrol Honda team, i think it is great that the team is at least still going and wasn't disbanded, plus by running in the British series the team can still run the WSB races at Silverstone and Brands. I think the secret to next years WSB will be the wildcards at Sugo, Laguna & the two british rounds. If they get a good turnout of wildcards for them, it will help the series no end. Interesting that Kagayama is going to Crescent Suzuki, first time in a while a Japanese factory rider has domne anything apart from Japan testing or a World Championship ride. Partnering John Reynolds i presume. |
