    Crescent Suzuki from BSB will be taking their place with Leon Camier and John Hopkins as riders.

    Paul Denning ran this team in BSB in addition to running Suzuki's Rizla MotoGP team. With Suzuki out of MotoGP I would think this team will have sufficient help from the factory to be competitive. If he can stay healthy Hopkins is a dark horse for the title this year.

    You knew the end was near with Alstare when they went to one rider. So this shouldn't be a huge surprise.

    The odds on John staying healthy are dim.

    Hopefully he really quit drinking this time. I was watching this year in BSB expecting his glass wrist to explode at any moment.

    Would love to see him competitive, but at the same time, his antics with M4 Suzuki in 2010 rubbed me the wrong way.
