          If (BIG IF) MaDMax does end up in MotoGP, hopefully won't end up like Gibernau with less than sparkling performance and his team running out of money to continue...

          So think about this; the way Ducatis have been performing in 2011 if they continue next season we might just see dog fight again with MadMax fastest of satellite as well as CRT bikes and Rossi still considering 7th a new first

            Guys ! Guys ! Its his CREW who have moved on. Last year the oldman signed a 2 year deal with Aprilia ! So Aprilia will find him a new crew. Read it on SBK planet or somewhere that the crew chief wanted a Factory bike for his son to race in Spanish or Italian Cup but that was offered to Max's cousin so he moved off( Unconfirmed news ).

            Will somebody start a SBK 12 thread ? Chaz has written a huge log @ Soup and i guess it would be completely irrelevant here.

              Yes I also read (probably on gpone.com italian article) that the chief left because he was angry and has pulled others out of Max's team as well though it is not decided where the team will land up. Obvious rumors are that they are heading towards a CRT team.

              It was a total speculation but interesting thought indeed of Max back in motogp

                  ^^imagine what would Stoner do if Max tried to bully/block him on the track...., and this would be the first time that rossi would support stoner for something...

                  news(for those few who haven't read it already...)
                  Qatar GP preponed by a week...season to start from 8th April instead of 15th...,

                  the Wsbk thread: Suren or Sciics should do the honour...,
                  else post it...after reading Chaz's career history....am already interested...

                  And as always Motomatters ready with some answers regarding Aprilia CRT....
                  Aspar "Doing Everything Within The CRT Rules" With Aprilia MotoGP Machine | MotoMatters.com | Kropotkin Thinks

                  to me, the topmost position being held by Aspar Team staff and Owning the bike doesn't seem to be good enough points for considering it a CRT...

                      Exactly, that's the reason once I quoted that it might not only be the factories taking victories and podiums.
                      No matter how fast the bikes are..the one who thinks faster is the one that will prevail
                      Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                        From 2013 I feel it'll be anybody's ball game but 2012 should be again the reign of factory bikes on a normal day. A wet race or incident filled weekend might give surprises as we have seen an odd satellite rider climbing to the podium.

                        Mainly because 2013 they are contemplating for spec ECUs and rev limits; this will really bring the bikes closer to each other and factories won't have the upper hand of having superior electronics.

                            What ? How ! thats impossible. If it is so then with the British weather expect highside lowsides left right and center and a couple of dead ppl by th end of the season.

                            And now that the Winter is boring, Livio must ve thought this is right time to hit at Rossi . Davide Brivio started it and now ,

                              Speaking of hitting out at each other Riders themselves aren't that much behind.
                              Rossi-Dovizioso: harsh words on Twitter

                              @suren: Agree with huge risk of casualties at the cost of "improving the show".

                              160 vs 52 kgs

                              Okay one question that came in my mind. Tried getting an answer from the experts on twitter as well but couldn't. Here it goes (a lot of "ifs" ):
                              If Aprilia uses its engine and the same frame that is there in production bike, then obviously the bike isn't a CRT.
                              If it is allowed to run as CRT and if aprilia is running a factory effort in disguise of it (with its employees present in the team), then claiming the Engine (and the gearbox if any factory wants to) wouldn't make any difference, right? Because Engine is anyways within the rules of CRT but it is the frame that is in question. With the case in hand how would the claiming factory prove that it is indeed not a CRT but a factory effort?

                              May be my understanding of the rules is wrong. Would somebody like to clarify

                                hehe..I remember a 2006 race where Dani wasn't able to hold his bike and dropped it...., not able to find the video right now...

                                you are right..., the frame cannot be claimed...,
                                but as it clearly says in the Noyes article

                                However, if we on the Grand Prix Commission decide that a CRT team is actually a factory team we will simply reclassify them and our decision will be final. End of story. The decision is final and cannot be appealed.
