Sad news...

Triple world champion Kenny Roberts Senior is shutting his workshops in Banbury, England, after 12 years of operation now that his Team KR has - temporarily, everyone hopes - pulled out of the MotoGP paddock.

Yeah, not a good sign...I didn't think anything was coming together this year but I have to question the future as well.

Yet another reason the switch to 800s wasn't such a great idea.

Its really a shame too because at the end of the 900 era it really looked liked Team KR was going to be competitive.

Regardless, MotoGP is better with KR than without IMO.

What ever happened to junior? He was the only rider who was able to bring down MotoGP results for his dad. When he disappeared and Kurtis started riding, it seemed to be the beginning of the end.

I never saw a good reason what happened to him. Just got frustrated and quit, I guess.
