le suite est TRES interressante :
Luis d'Antin, the former grand prix rider who runs the d'Antin Ducati satellite team in MotoGP,
admits that Toseland is on his short-list of candidates for a better-equipped and better-funded effort in 2007.
"
We are speaking with six or seven riders, and James is one of our possibilities," d'Antin said. "He has the talent and the performance, and
the British market is very important for the championship and for Ducati."
d'Antin is hoping to bring four-time world 250cc champion Max Biaggi back into MotoGP next year, and his current riders Alex Hofmann and José Luis Cardoso are also on his short-list.
Toseland's Superbike-heavy CV also appears not to worry d'Antin. "A good rider can adapt to any category," he said. "Some people say that the level of Superbike riders is not the same as in MotoGP. But Toseland is beating Alex Barros (who switched from MotoGP last year) in Superbikes."
In the curious courtship ritual that takes place in motorcycle racing, d'Antin and Toseland have not actually spoken to one another about working together next year, although each is aware of the other's interest.
Toseland is unlikely to be put off by his friend Neil Hodgson's difficult season in d'Antin's team in 2004, when he rode year-old bikes, because the 2007 effort would receive much closer support from Ducati, bigger funding from current sponsors Pramac, and the best Bridgestone tyres.
"We would like to have a satellite team like the Honda ones, capable of fighting for podiums," Suppo said. "We want the link between our satellite team and the factory to be much stronger."
If Toseland were to get the ride, he would be running virtually the same machinery as Ducati Marlboro factory riders Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau -
who are both expected to be retained for 2007.
Ducati semble vouloir plus s'engager dans son team satellite. en meme temps tout le monde partira d'une moto de la meme année et "neuve".
5-6 noms pour le team satellite .... un pilote anglais si possible (et la dorna est prête a aider pour cela), et le nom de Biaggi bien présent.
un team toseland biaggi en vue ????
ps : le team officiel a des chances de ne pas changer (capirossi/gibernau). Et capirossi n'a rien a dire si biaggi est dans un autre team meme si c une ducate
