That is one twisty race track. Looks fun as a good party.

Really solid riding skills exhibition. :thumbup

Unique racetrack. Bonjour!
 
So it looks like Yonny Hernandez, one of the few WSBK riders signed for 2019, was fired by Team Pedricini just before the Magny-Cours round in a spat over his hotel room.

Using Google Translate from Speedweek.com

The rest of the story we know only from the mouth of team boss Lucio Pedercini: "Yonny has called me Wednesday evening at 23.15 clock and told me that he has no hotel room. He wanted to check in too late. I wanted to solve the problem, tried to book another hotel and got the confirmation. I gave Yonny the address and he was there at 0.15 and told me that no one was there. This is a four star hotel, I can not imagine that no one was there. He then tells me he's going back to Paris. "

:laughing
 
And there are reports that PJ Jacobsen is out at Triple M Honda. Probably a huge relief for Jacobsen as the team owner had been bad mouthing PJ recently. Jacobsen's history in Daytona Sportbike, BSB Superstock, BSB Superbike and WSS proves he's lot better than a 16th place superbike rider.
 
Whoa! Torres out! Maybe a blessing in disguise.

Tom Sykes just found his factory seat. ;)

It'll almost be like staying at Kawasaki for him - he's used to the mid-pack. :teeth
 
Three? I'm not sure I can stand three. It's hard enough watching two. It's always the same race. XYZ goes to the front for four laps and then Rea passes them and wins.

They really need to pass Rea $500k a year to start losing races and crashing.

Thats Bautista's job.
