Dailymotos.co.uk: "Recent rumours have suggested a link between MotoGP, Team Alstare and former World 500c champion Kevin Schwantz. Schwantz has worked for Suzuki for years and could be seen as a natural figurehead/team manager or whatever for a new Suzuki MotoGP team, if that is what he and Suzuki have in mind for the future. So, could Schwantz work with Batta and Alstare ? Why not? Schwantz has known the Battas for years and it could be the making of a ‘dream team.'"

As Growth Hits a Wall, Nascar Faces a Less Certain Future - New York Times Who's surprised when the NYT breathlessly reports old news and leaves out important data?
Surely it can't be an indicator of the economy, like those nutjobs in New Hampshire think. Remember this from a few days ago?
Bike Week may see smaller turnout "The economy is not good, despite what some people think. Our main market is middle-class Americans and the middle class has been harder-hit than anybody else by the economy."
And USA Today told us about this last November...
NASCAR's growth slows after 15 years in the fast lane "Higher gas prices, interest rates and the housing market could have a negative effect on fans' spending."
But if we were paying attention this was all known in 2005 when they signed this latest TV contract: TV ratings were down and they were having trouble putting butts in the seats.
