Just last week in Sepang, the Jorge Martinez deal to lease a Kawasaki ZX-RR for 2009 MotoGP season fell through after lengthy negotiations.
The deal mainly failed due to the fact that Martinez and his Spanish sponsors were willing to back only a Spanish rider, while Kawasaki were insisting that that the “Aspar” team take on Shinya Nakano as their rider.
Now according to the Italian website Racergp.
com it seems that Kawasaki may apparently field their own third factory bike, with indiscretions seemingly coming from a company that says they have received a further order from Kawasaki to supply additional extra parts.
So we may hopefully see Nakano on a Kawasaki next year.
