No worries for Haslam...Alstare Suzuki was actually doing him a favor. He was free to sign with the factory BMW team to reply Xaus for next year. Alstare doesn't have sponsorship for next year.

i still can't do it. I'm not even a huge Rossi fan, but "Faster" made me dislike (i almost said hate, but not quite) Max, and I can't shake it.

As noted, I'm not a die-hard Rossi fan by any means, but Max's "rock star" persona seemed like such a contrived and douche-y move...

I've conveniently ignored how much he's calmed down over the years.

the Aprilia is definitely impressive - now I want to see that BMW win a championship, and force the Japanese brands to step up their game even more.
