DuHamel replaces Elias for Laguna Seca MotoGP
by dean adams = Superbike Planet
Tuesday, July 03, 2007 Sources in Europe said today that none other than Miguel DuHamel will replace Toni Elias for the Laguna Seca MotoGP event later this month. Elias crashed at the recent Assen race and broke his leg, necessitating a replacement rider for the Fausto Gresini-run team. DuHamel, a former Superbike champion, may actually be more well-suited to current MotoGP machinery than some believe. Before he raced Superbikes in America, DuHamel was a terror in the AMA 250 ranks. If this development comes to fruition it could be a major PR boon for Laguna Seca as DuHamel is both immensely popular and a known entity to many of the California and national press.

Sounds like a big gamble. Can't believe they'd let an old guy like Miguel hop aboard their GP bike without lots of seat time. Miguel is damn good and I luv him (used to race his number), but there must be a reason he's not already in GP. Dean Adams always has the inside scoop, so who knows. I'd love to see Miguel do it, as long as he does a respectable job.
