...due to lack of cash, they thought they'd be able to get sponsorship for 2007 by doing that last 2 rounds of 2006

What a complete waste of time, effort and money that has been. A shitty bike that's way off the pace, why would someone sponsor them! Maybe they didn't realise how tough it wound be but, god damn!

Its sad news.

On the ten-tenths forum we were just recently discussing the lack of sponsorship money attracted to MotoGP. You only have to look at the difference between the numbers on the 125 grid and the (less than over-crowded) main event to see that something isn't right.
