Think they'll rehire Colin and Nori?

They've been in MotoGP for the last 3 years under the guise of thinly veiled ART CRT teams....it's been factory Aprilia the whole time.

I wonder if they will develop a 90 degree V4 like Honda and Ducati.

I think they'll probably stick with the 60 as it's their trade mark V angle and those CRT Aprilias are not slow in a straight line. The only thing they are lacking is a really good electronics suite which should be resolved by all customer bike teams using a homologated ECU. We'll see if that pans out as some of the teams do not like that idea.

I was told the other day that KTM have a V4 putting out 260bhp on the shelf in Austria. Man I wish they were rich enough to play with the big boys.

It's great if Aprilia injects some cash into there current team and see how they could do. I mean at worst they could match Ducati 's efforts. Interested to see what happens.

When Suzuki left M1 a few years back their annual M1 budget was 4 to 5 million US. M1 racing; It's not a cheap endeavor.

I recall that mill ... But always thought it would have been pretty fantastic if the Ilmor engines had worked out ... Leasing the engines from Honda was just a swan song ... Funny thing too - one could argue they were the original CRT - LOL.
