Geoff May and Aaron Yates on the factory bikes. Blake Young was also in the running for the bike that went to Yates.

This should make Superbike more interesting this year. Hopefully it will be televised.

I think it speaks to the leaps and bounds EBR has made that another team is fielding them. I've seen AMA riders move away from the BMW while the EBR is starting to get noticed. Who saw THAT coming?

Has anyone heard the latest on Blake Young having (or not having) a full time ride?

Attack Kawasaki has contracted with him to test and race their CRT bike at all three American MotoGP rounds (which is fucking awesome), but while that's cool as hell, it's not a gig that allows him to compete for a championship in any series.

I'm afraid the best he can hope for might be filling in for an injured rider (ala Tommy Hayden last year) or (and perhaps this is his move) try to impress someone on the world stage at the MotoGP rounds, and land a WSBK or BSB seat for part of the 2013 season?
