What's wrong with the GP11?

Carmelo wants the manufacturers to have less input into the rules, so he'll force them to sell the teams the bikes instead of factory/satellite (lease) model. I believe this is similar to what is done in the US. Manufacturers don't actually run any teams, they just sell the equipment.

except in the APE's case, there is a factory Aprilia mech from Max's team on board in the GP paddock for one of the teams....I think for Aspar but I could be mistaken...

It seems that in any race series we always end up saying "except for the Ape".

WELL....they are known for their various attempts to skirt and skate around the rules....

[duccarlos]

they are definitely an Italian company.

There's Max's excuse for sucking next season.
