Two weeks ago the rumors of Ferracci fielding a Superbike ridden by Hopkins started circulation. Knowing that is was a bad thing for Larry I emailed his manager to see what was up. Ed told me that Foremost is still on board but they couldn't talk about the bikes, yet. Today it was announced that Ducati would not be backing Larry.

My guess is that Larry will run Aprilia's V4 or the BMW. Since Pat Clark/Attack is prepping ZX10Rs, Graves is still running Yamahas, Yosh/Jordan/M4 are still using Suzukis there are only a couple of choices left. Honda won't be racing next season and KTM doesn't have a US racing program. So, BMW or Aprilia are the choices. BMW has had priavteer bikes in the AMA series. Aprilia has not. The darkhorse would be Buell, but since they have no street machines prepped they may not have the time to get a 1190 approved.

Seeing a FOREMOST/Pegram Racing 2 rider team with Larry and Geoff May would make for exciting racing. Look at May's results on the 1125- Pretty good for a bike that was made in 2009.

I'd go with the Beemer and get some revenge.

I'd go with the Beemer, too. It was raced by two privateers last season and did well in WERA.
