Now this is what we really call silly season.
Sportmediaset through their daily TV sports show Studio Sport is reporting that World Superbike Ten Kate Honda rider Max Neukirchner may be heading to MotoGP next season with a German backed team.
The new team has an important sponsor that has very deep pockets and willing to shell out, not only 3 million euros for a Ducati Desmosedici, but also support the team in a big way if Dorna approves the entry (they’re probably jumping with joy and preparing the red carpet) and this could mean we may be seeing seven Ducati’s on the grid in 2011.
Even sillier is the rumor that Francis Batta could be switching his Suzuki team lock, stock and barrel from WSBK to MotoGP.
It seems that Suzuki is in financial straights and have officially asked to field only one bike next year in MotoGP and the Belgium manager could be the man to run the team.
Okay, all this seems pretty far fetched, but Sportmediaset has a pretty good batting average lately on hot rumors and several have been right, just remember who first revealed the Casey Stoner to Honda and Valentino Rossi to Ducati rumors.
