Xaus to Aprilia
Rubens goes to Aprilia in the Supers next year to be Nitro Nori's team mate.
Shame they won't beat any Ducati's! |

You can always expect 110% maximum attack from 'Nitro' Nori, but Xaus is still young, and in my opinion, reckless. He needs to tone it down, consistently finish and steer clear of accidents.......

It could be a good year for Xuas if he lands the seat. he'll be on the latest machinary but will he use Dunlops or stick wth Michelin. That could be important if he's to succeed.

I think one of the Bostrom's would have been a better pick, but i'm just happy that there is going to be a 2nd Aprillia.
Don't think it will win though, the current bike is a flawed machine, interesting that Haga this year is complaining about the same stuff Corser was last year, and Corser was sacked because of it. Where does this leave Ben Bostrom and also it's another seat taken from Eric. Also apparently Broc Parkes is going to be Lavilla's teammate on the Corona Suzuki next year, excellent news, though they haven't decided whether it will be the 750 or 1000. Really, they would be wasting there time with the 750 next year wouldn't they? |

Suzuki is 90% chance of going with the 1000 next year. The 750s are now completely uncompetitive.
Hmm, huge rumours at the moment that B. Bostrom is heading back to America to clear his head. His performances, though solid, have been far from spectacular this year and he's struggling for form..... |

Going back to America would also coincidently fit in with Ducati returning as a pretty much factory team over there through Team Austin, which would allow him to keep his Ducati links, only thing that may count against him there is that Gobert is also thought to be chasing that ride (along with just about everything else). Imagine him and Gobert teammates again (flashback to 1999)

Gobert would eat him for diner. Nitro Nori indead. If brains where made of dynamite he wouldn't have enough to blow his nose. Over rated factor - off the bloody dial.
