Default GSE Yamaha for 2009

Eurosport are reporting that GSE & Ducati have parted company & that as of next year it will be GSE Yamaha running 'factory backed' bikes.

No clue as to which side decided on the break-up or as to whether Airwaves will continue as title sponsor.

Personally I'm quite pleased - because from my own (narrow-minded) view I can now openly support Leon Camier - assuming he stays with team of course - without the inner turmoil of wanting to support someone riding a Ducati !!

Yeap, believed to be running the new Big Bang Yamaha R1.

Explains why both riders contracts have been delayed....

So does that mean that Colin Wright is now with Yamaha?

lets see if Colin can do better than Mac has of late.... still if your rider stays on...... (poor Harris has had bugger all luck this season!). Personally i hope Colin and the new Yamaha rock next season!

So who will run dukes in BSB? they have had too much success not to be a part of it all again next season. And what of Rob Mac's team? They have been doing really well this season, and would have the results to show that if Karl Harris could get together enough lucky chamrs (come on, how many other people have been wiped out by a rouge, AWOL rizla suzuki GSXR1000?)

I don't know if anyone (major teams anyway) will be running Ducati bikes in 2009, we could have out first Ducati-free year .

It appears that an American Team are entering WSB with Ducati - so maybe they can't build enough bikes for all - especially as BSB run different regs to WSB.-

Paul Bird has been offered a deal to run in BSB with Ducati's again, it is this deal that is making him contemplate coming back from WSB.
