Kawasaki have now pulled out of Moto GP....  KAWASAKI PRESS RELEASE Published: 9 Jan 2009 Tokyo, January 9, 2009 -- Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it has decided to suspend its factory MotoGP racing activities from 2009 season. Amid quickly changing business environment, Kawasaki has been promptly taking countermeasures to cope with the situation. As the world economy is not likely to recover in a short period due to the major impact of the financial crisis, Kawasaki decided to suspend its MotoGP racing activities from 2009 season onward and reallocate management resources more efficiently. Kawasaki will continue racing activities using mass-produced motorcycles as well as supporting general race-oriented customers. Kawasaki would like to thank all the fans and all those who have forwarded us great help. Mr.Yoshio Kawamura, the Managing Director of Kawasaki Motors Racing B.V. deeply appreciates the contribution and the dedication brought by staff members of the MotoGP team. |

 I was realy looking forward to seeing JH on the mean Green machine this year. He sounded like he was up for the challenge this year, It would of been good to see the other Italian rider( well there's only ONE isn't there ) Marcus M keeping the Hopper on his toes. Lets hope things change for the better in 2010.  Chris. |

Can't blame Kawasaki really-they've never really been in contention and there's only one Rossi!Still the sport is the poorer for their absence.
