I don't like the new trend where the top riders don't run 1, 2, 3. I get that Rossi did it, but we all have to admit that it's a special case. #46 ain't like the rest.
P.S. Crash.net thinks Spies 'settled' for #11 because he lost out on the chance to run #19.
maybe they're right but 19 was an homage.. 11 is his normal number.

Loreis Capirossi
Never seen that name before. New guy? ;D
Only 7 countries represented? US, Australia, Italy, Spain, France, Japan & Finland. I'd expect more.
5 Italians
5 Spaniards
3 Americans
1 Australian
1 Japanese
1 French
1 Finnish
And it appears that Crash.net thinks that Jorge got a new passport.

What was 19 an homage to? I never got used to him running 19 in WSBK. I just figured his number was available in GP and went back to it.
19 was for one of his hometown racing buddies that died, IIRC.
