Less than three weeks at Christmas, but still was not published an official list of starters at the 2012 world championship . You perfectly know the names of the 6 6 riders who will compete with the MotoGP "factory" of Honda, Yamaha and Ducati, and the remaining six versions that take on a "Satellite", but much remains to be clarified with regard to team CRT.
In recent weeks, in fact, were made official the names of Randy De Puniet and Alex Espargarò regarding the Aspar team. The team chose Speedmaster Anthony West , the team at Misano Forward already has signed with Colin Edwards, who acted as a bridgehead, but the other teams that should compete among the "Claiming Rule Team" have not yet been officially exposed. And with the publicity of the time registered in the last test will be difficult to sell the participation of the sponsors that will consider the CRT little more than a filler on the grid.
here are some 17 riders for the championship 2012, so the pioneers of the new era are De Puniet and West Espargarò with Aprilia, Edwards the Suter-BMW and Honda CBR Pyrrhus with the Gresini team.
Surely more will be added, but that means two things: that you are struggling to find money ... and that the seat may be for sale. That is, the driver will be called upon to contribute to the cause. Besides, this is what is apparent from ' self-published their own set up by West.
For this we did a little 'smile the news that the Tech 3 rider Hervé Poncharal would be to build its own chassis to compete in the future in their own CRT. The French team, in fact, is currently under contract with Yamaha, but the obstacle is this: in fact, a frame is built around an engine, and before you decide this, then that one. Stating that in the middle of next season, the Tech 3 will be on the track means that you have already chosen the engine ...
For the record, it seems that Yamaha has proposed the engine of his R1 Superbike at a price you think impossible ... why?
