Saturday Moto News - Blackhorse Kawasaki and Valentino Rossi

Team Blackhorse Kawasaki - Ian Lougher's Kawasaki team - has now signed David Pearce and re-signed Conor Cummins for the 2010 British Superbike Season. Pearce will contest the Junior 600 Superstock class for his first foray into BSB racing, and Cummins will continue in the Superstock 1000 class (Cummins will also continue riding for the McAdoo Racing team in 'real roads' events). Lougher has put together a great team and we will benefit from the challenging racing...

Apparently, Valentino Rossi had to be rushed to the hospital on Thursday (14 January 2010) for pain in his abdomen. The reports say that he had an inflamed appendix, but there is no information on how it was treated. (In the US, they would operate and take it out for safety.) However, it does appear that his ride in the Ferrari F1 car is still on.

Ian Lougher Joins with Kawasaki for Isle of Man TT

We already know that he is now on his way to Australia for the Kings of Wanneroo event, but this is even better news. We also know Lougher was already set to ride for Team Blackhorse Kawasaki in the British Superbike Superstock 1000 Championship. Now, the Blackhorse team will also be competing in the Isle of Man TT and Lougher will lead that effort. It seems that he will also run in some other racing events - I assume also in BSB - using both the Ninja ZX-6R and ZX-10R...A man on a racing mission!
