Who's Got Jordan? Honda And HRC? Suzuki And Yosh?

Who's Got Jordan? Honda And HRC? Suzuki And Yoshimura?

The motorcycle industry is abuzz with conflicting groups of sponsors thinking they have successfully negotiated a deal with Michael Jordan's AMA team for 2005.

Among the contestants:

American Honda (including the automotive division) and HRC, with Ben Bostrom as lead rider.

American Suzuki and Yoshimura, with Jason Pridmore as lead rider.

And these are only the ones we know about.

Similarly, agents for the Jordan operation have approached up to four riders for the second slot in the team, alluding to a lucrative payday that at most only one of them will ultimately reap, and refering to Suzuki Superbikes on Dunlop tires with Pridmore as the lead rider.

Good luck.

I don't think even the team will know until it's all done.

Gemini doesn't know what the deal is for next year for them as of yesterday, either.

No one knows at this point.

I won't even begin to speculate. I've seen how many times things have changed on the team from last season. I can't imagine all the scenarios going on right now.

Jordan did ride DUCATI's Motogp bike...was that a hint?

I think Jordan has hired Safety First Racing for next year and Super Dave Rosno is going to be the head rider with Larry Denning as the back up rider.

Umbrella girls will feature the Chicago Bears Honeybears cheerleaders!

EXCLUSIVE!  Jordan signs K3 on an MV for WSB!!! ;)

...then you had better GTFOH ASAP or you will be SOL. ;) ;D

So this means Jordan's team will not be a "privateer" team - right?? ???  He'll probably just be joining an existing team?

Super Dave Rosno is going to be the head rider with Larry Denning as the back up rider.

Now that would be interesting.  Larry Denning spanking the AMA pro's left and right.  How many track records does Denning hold now? Like 5 or 6?

Jordan deal is done.

If the graphics stay the same way they were proposed to be when I saw them, they will be, umm, very attention-grabbing.  :D

I suppose this means Tez and Pridmore. Might be some decent finishes.

Good! let's shake things up in the design department.  ;D

Another Dunlop team ?  :(  ;)
