While at Brno Ducati has won, and more than anyone, with the engines stopped at the moment, rumours continue as to who will be the successor to Troy Bayliss.
The 39-year-old Australian is nearing retirement from racing, and still has no real heir to the position.
With fifth place for the season, confirmation of Michel Fabrizio seems ever closer (although somewhat given), but who will be at his side? At the moment it looks like a three man race between Byrne, Biaggi and Vermeulen, even if Davide Tardozzi will try at all costs to bring young Niccolò Canepa into Superbike racing.
But to mix it all up Aprilia could be entering the fray.
According to RacerGP.
com Max has been seen having a long chat with Giampero Sacchi and the engineer, Gigi dall’Igna.
Is this just an old meeting between friends or is the old flame returning?The renewal (although yearly) of Troy Corser in Yamaha should see the company place on the grid the same riders in 2009, for the third year in a row.
Cech rider Jakub Smrz has also been proving himself as a fast rider, and so who knows… maybe the coming months could produce the big news of summer?
