Alex and Damian Cudlin are Laid-Off from Phase One Yamaha Endurance Team

The team simply did not have enough budget to keep them on. They have brought in Australian Glen Richards and James Ellison for the final event of the Endurance World Championship at Doha, Qatar. Even worse for the Cudlin brothers, they have not had the best season this year. I think you will agree with me when I wish the Australian brothers the best of luck in gaining employment for next season!

British Superbike Racer Glen Richards Wants EVO Rules for Superbike

They are just next year going to replace the Privateers Cup with the British Superbike 'Evolution' class, but Richards would like to see the same rules applied to the entire British Superbike Championship paddock. Of course, many teams and riders do not want to see this change - but the reason is mostly due to the fact that these teams have already purchased their race bikes for 2010. However, the rules would also distance the series from the FIM series...so, it may not be so wise.
