[IL8APEX]

...according to Roger Hayden, anyway. Oh, and he's got a new 2 year deal with Yosh!

about time

Hmm

 

[Venom51]

So he'll be unemployed just as soon as the new bikes are ready?

How do you figure that. If he has a new 2 year contract that means he would be contracted through to the end of the 2016 season. If assume the new bike will be made available towards the end of 2015 they will develop it over the winter and he'll race it all of the 2016 season.

You're either bad at math or think the 2016 bike won't be ready till 2017

I wouldn't hold my breath unless bike sales pick up.

Breath is held.

Breath is held.

New bike or bold new graphics? Only time will tell.

After reading that article, JH2's comments that he will be in MotoAmerica next year, and someone else on here (forget who - not sure about credibility) saying Cardenas won't be back at Yosh next year, wonder if this adds up to JH2 riding for Yosh?

I can't quote where, but I am almost certain I read that Cardenas was working toward a Moto2 gig. Stupid memory...

Out of curiosity, how much money might be involved in one of these deals for a factory ride. I realize Hayden is not getting rich......simply curious about it.

 

[Dave K]

'bout tree-fiddy.

 

[backcountryme]

The new bike will be delayed, then engine already blew up on it.

 

[Steeltoe]

That was uncalled for.

 

[backcountryme]

I bet the engine on the delivery tuck breaks a rod transporting the bikes to the dealerships.

 

[backcountryme]

Blown engine by association. Ha

 

[Venom51]

It's bad when Hardley-Ableson's start to look reliable by comparison.

 

[Dave K]

The ship blows a motor and sinks on the way to deliver them to the US. Captain Bautista was drunk at the helm.

2016, eh?

No time like the present. Or not.
