Anyone happen to see this yet? Ilmor was seen testing his new 800cc 70?V4 at Silverstone last week using an Eskil Suter chassis. Max Biaggi is pegged as the rider and may race the final two rounds of this season. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/nav?p...sourceId=5238895&articleCategory=SPORT_MOTOGP
Last two rounds??? Obviously they feel their 800cc can keep up with the 990cc. Doesn't matter though - like others said, Max will most likely start to complain and then they'll have no rider or he'll skid it across the kitty litter.
So doe's that mean that his Umbrella girl job in Moto GP is over......... :lol: :lol: :lol: ........ Kind of like in the thread somewhere else in this forum.
Most GP experts expect the 800 to be just as fast and faster by the end of the year, 2007. They also expect it to be more expensive, naturally. Why would anyone hire Max when there are young kids with much more ability and much less biaggage!?? :roll:
Gazza McCoy is scheduled to ride it the last 2 rounds this year. He's always fun to watch, but I hope they have more than 1, since he's not afraid to crash!
