Gregorio to replace Watanabe in BSB Rizla squad?
WE'RE HEARING a lot of rumours at the moment and there's a lot of buzz that Gregorio Lavilla had been dropped from the Vent Axia Honda WSB squad.
We'll let you know more on that if we get anything else soon - but how about this for an interesting aside, Gregorio riding a third bike in the Rizla BSB squad? Or maybe even replacing the puzzling Atsushi Watannabe... hmmmm, it's all going on with the blue bikes at the moment and there's a lot of warbling going on in the BSB paddock about the Spaniard making a return to the UK soon.
Doe the curse of Birdy strike again ?
He was singing his praises the other month , it'll be interesting to see if he's turned into a slow , crap not interested rider like, Hislop , Shakey , and the like did

Who says Ducati's don't have an advantage?
Last year Lavilla was on the Duke and was competitive, last year Byrne was on a honda and did fook all, this year the roles are reversed, Byrnes cleaning up and Lavilla is out on his arse.....nothing to do with the bike is it?

I think the ducati factor is higher in BSB when there are less long straights and the initial grunt out of corners counts for more.
