Now that the AMA season is over, is there any chance that Ben Spies, Jake Zemke, Ben Bostrom or other AMA regulars participate in Portimao in November?

If it sounds unfamiliar, it's a new track on the circuit.

I heard the broadcasters mention in the Magny Cours telecast that Ben Bostrom might be going to WSBK with Ducati. Anybody else hear that?

I know Spies is signed with Yamaha, Zemke is working a deal with Boulder motorsports and Josh Hayes is hoping to capitalize on the Parkalgar WSS ride he has now. Any rumours about any of the other riders?

Yes they said Bostrom might replace Lanzi on the Ducati RG team. Until the American factory teams decide what they are going to do in the USA next year the American riders are in limbo.I did read that the Jordan team is going to have a 2nd team with a new sponser rumoured to be National Guard in the DMG series next year.This was in the notes in last weeks Cycle News report on the Superbike race from Laguna.

I heard that too and thought it was strange they didn't mention Spies.

I heard the Boulder Motorsports deal is a little shaky. The guy that owns that team is a big player in the stock market and well....
