Jezza to BSB and Shakey to KR?

[chunder]

As reported in crash today M+Jezza has signed a two year dal with Paul Bird to ride alongside Laverty andMason in BSB on the Stobart Honda.
Birdy says that he was the preferred choice though i think probably Shakey would have been, Jezza hasnt traced on the UK for a log time but he has undoubted quality,speed andmost importantly in my opinion determination. After the Emmet debacle, you cant really see Jezza having the trouble that Sean had unless the bike is rubbish.
Also of interest though is that he was looking at Lavilla and Byrne, think Greg is heavily tied to Suzuki but would have been a great signing, he was superb at Thruxton last year. But Byrne is apparetnly close to signing for Team REoberts if they can get funding for the KTM engines. Looks pretty tough for them to find it unless someone like Red Bull come in but i doubt theywill wanna be associated with a team taht has little chance of exposure or winning just yet. But Kenny likes his British riders so lest hope he can get in there
