So Cam B and Ben Smith will be on HSBK Ducati Superbikes, with Ben's bike being sponsored by Flo4Law?

Do we know what Josh Herrin is doing?

 

[mrrogers]

Seems like he'll be on the supersport bike. With the 200 becoming a points round hsbk probably told him to pick racing Daytona or superbike.

I dont see much of a reason for him to leave his seat otherwise but the racing world do be funny.

I can't believe HSBK made this altimatum to Josh, and that he picked running the 200 instead of the SBK season. I literally can't believe it.

Josh is probably the only rider HSBK has even been remotely loyal to over the years. Racing is business, nobody is going to pass on Beaubier to keep Herrin. Don’t understand why people are so surprised about this.

HSBK has "passed on Beaubier" the last 3 years. And you can't imagine why people would be surprised?

I’m sure they did considering he was contracted to a different team….

He wasn't contracted the whole time, especially at the beginning.

 

[Once a Wanker..]

We never know, until we believe we do.

Even then we don't really, usually.

Im not going to pretend I know the deal’s that were or weren’t available when he came back to the US from moto2. My main point was HSBK is pretty much known for never giving a rider a 2nd year. So the fact that Josh has been with them since 2023 is pretty amazing

I am wondering if Ducati really want the Next gen championship back since they have a new V2 and Herrin is their best bet of making that happen. With Cam on the SBK and Herrin on the V2, they have a pretty good shot at both titles.

New v2 isn't legal yet I don't believe

Who said Herrin was on a V2? H will be on the 2025 V4. Cam and Ben on the 24'.

Cam B on the new Suzuki with Escalante

Some wild theories being thrown around this thread, some almost as unbelievable as Marc Marquez to gresini…

Apparently SDK to Orange at but maybe not since JU has first right of refusal.

Escalate needs a change of scenery. That guy could do some damage on the right bike.

Herrin posted this on the gram

 

[BC]

That't crazy. If he thinks he can put the $$ together to run his own program why not buy a ride like Smith did?

 

[BC]

I don't like to like him but I hope he goes out and wins the 200 and beats the shit outa (laps 3 times) HSBK.
