Re: Regis to ride Aprilia
Dunlops,Schmops!
It's true that riders like Haga or Crafar ride dramatically better on Dunlops - but a TRUE CHAMPION (like Rainey, f.i.) would be a championship contender even on South Korean tires... He prefered the Dunlops but was a winner on Michelins too...
And, - I bet - the world champion for MotoGP 2002 will be on Michelins, not on Dunlops!!!
Anyway, I hope that Laconi does a good job on the Aprilia - some podiums would be nice... (But if I were Aprilia I would try to get Katoh for 2003 - he is the only one good enough to beat Rossi... and he is a lot cheaper)
