-- 'Cycle News reporting that Hoffman, not so dearly departed from the d'Antin Ducati motogp squad, has turned down a deal to ride for Corona Honda in order to accept a 2-Year deal with Aprilia. In 2008, AH will be developing the 1000cc V4 and will race in World Superbike in '09. Xracer.it reports that Hoffman has been spotted recently at Jerez testing a V4 prototype disguised as a RSV. '


-- Soemwhere around the end of November, Tommy Hill was admitted to a hospital in Spain after crashing his Hannspree Altea Honda at his first test in Calafat. Hill was flicked off the CBR600RR after a problem with the electronic quick shifter caused the engine to cut out whilst he was mid corner.
