...The new Grupo Francisco Hernando team has withdrawn from the MotoGP World Championship after just eight rounds of the 2009 season...So why the pull out? The most likely reason is that Hernando was given to understand that his team would be competitive enough to fight for rostrums almost from the off. This patently has not been the case and there was no real sign that the situation would improve.,,Far and away the second most successful rider of the 990 era, Sete came back this year after a two-season lay off and immediately picked up the sort of shoulder injury that brought about his first retirement. It may well be that his seventh-lap crash at Laguna was his last act in bike racing.
We'll miss Sete. What we won't miss is a bike carrying the colours of one of the top six worst dictators in the world because Gruppo Hernando is trying to build a vacation complex in Equatorial Guinea, and we certainly won't miss the posse of bodyguards hanging around outside the team's paddock hospitality.
μεγαλοκατασκευαστής με άφθονα χρήματα ο hernando, απλώς κουράστηκε να είναι εκτός δεκάδας και τα παράτησε. Ο sete παρόλο που δεν έκανε την παρουσία του αισθητή, είναι κρίμα που χάνεται ακόμα ένας αγωνιζόμενος στο grid. Και πάνω που στη ducati ήλπιζαν για 6 μηχανές του χρόνου...αν δεν φτιάξουν μηχανάκι θα χάσουν και την άλλη δορυφορική...
