Foggy & MV Augusta in WSBK's 2008 - but with who?

Question

It seems to be almost old hat that Karl Fogarty will be running a team of MV's in 2008 (confirmed back in May) but when interviewed on the grid yesterday he still played it coy - he said things were almost in place - and that he had "no riders in mind" Whaaaat!

He must have his eye on a couple of likely lads!

Who do you think he'd like?

And who would you like to see on the "motocicletta bella" ?

Answer 1

Well Caparossi would go well on that bike And maybe Tamada. He did very well in WSBK

I do not think Niel Hodgson has signed with any one yet..He has been testing and riding a honda here in the states. I don't think he and Foggy get along well

This just came to me though.  Ruben Xaus was Foggy's protoge'  so maybe Rubino would get a real ride next season but I know those bikes are expensive to fix

Answer 2

Loris Caporossi unless he signs with Kawasaki MotoGP.....I heard they have their eyes on him and my personal favorite, Garry Mccoy.  The only reason I say two 30 something year old is guys is due to the development of the bikes.  I think that someone else from MotoGP will surface this year because they will be out of a ride.

I am biased on the Mccoy...no chance there.

Answer 3

I have to go with my friend 51 on this one. His WSB knowledge is  far greater then my own.

Mybe not 100% on the Xuas idea. That boy could brankrupt MV in just new carbons every weekend.

I think Niel Hodgson signed with Unlimited in the AMA di he not? Im sure I'm wrong!

Answer 4

I would also like to see Capirossi on it. But for the other seat more importantly, I would like to see some one young like Leon Camier on it.

From what I have seen in the BSB this year, he seems to be pretty good.
