It ain't over till they kick you out of BSB!
|
According to CN, ex BSB and "World Champ" (AMA door mat) Neil Hodgson will
be testing for Rizla 'Zuki..
|
Last I heard Neil was testing for the Ducati MGP team.
|
i hate to agree with gooey, but that's the last thing i had heard as
well. Hodgson testing for Duc in another thread. someone please clear
this up i don't want to be as un educated as gooey!! ahhh!!

Well if you'd read the article that the link pointed to, you'd have
seen this: "Without a race seat in 2007, he has already been used by a
leading MotoGP team as a test and development rider and will now use
those skills for Rizla Suzuki." Looks like Neil has put a card up in
the window of his local post office saying "Motorcycle Race Tester for
hire. Will work for food."

Regarding his Ducati testing work, an interesting comment from Soup
relative to the new MotoGP bikes: "Former WSBK chamion Neil Hodgson
found himself reportedly befuddled this year after he tested the
latest generation Ducati MotoGP bike. Afterwards, Hodgson said anyone
could ride a MotoGP bike today because of the way that traction
control and other rider assistance devices have 'dumbed down' the job
of a rider.
Take from that what you will...

That would be the post office in Ramsey, Isle of Man :-)

Apparently at Duc he was "testing" the MGP stuff as a development rider,
with Rizla they're "testing" to see if he's still fast enough to race. At
this age and stage of his career, he's facing some not so hard choices, a
hammer, saw and a level, or that retirement home known as BSB...
