Wacked.

aprilia announced their sponsorship by alitalia airlines today and unveiled their new colors. PURE SEX

airlines are crying poverty and going bankrupt, how can they afford to sponsor a superbike team?

I think Alitalia and the Piaggio group are owned by the same guy.

Yea, I'm sure that the pay is better and it's a golden opportunity to see the world and possibly get noticed but he'll be lucky to make top 10 imho.

you forgot about banging supermodels. ample opportunity for that at the Sbk level

now then, if paul bird and factory kwacky give full support i may have to change my opinion. gonna be interesting to see what team green can pull out this year, the rumors of the upcoming 4th gen bike's potential seem to be corroborated by the strong factory backing this year. still, even though this will effectively be a teambuilding and practice year for them i hope they do well. the gen 3 deserves a few good wins

looks like yamaha is claiming an 8hp gain all across the band and a 3kg weight loss while retaining the starter. TWO MORE WEEKS!
