It would also be nice if he could help us in the motorcycle development.
Who knows …” First rumors about wildcard rides in MotoGP that were played down by Livio Suppo, and now in World Superbikes, with the HRC boss starting the speculation, and next thing you’ll know Stoner, who has turned to a new career on four wheels, will be rumored to wildcard in the Australian Superbike championship to help boost the series.
