That's too bad.................. I liked Eric Bostrom, I'll miss his style of riding. Why could he not have ridden the Supestock class?

The "elite" normally don't step down in class. There are elite riders who race Superstock in addition to Superbike because they are forced by their contracts to do so. Some of the second tier elite race FX, which is really close to Superbike. But it's just not the premire class where Eric belongs.

Honda team, along with everyone else except Ducati & possible entry by Aprilla, are set. Honda doesn't need him. Jake, Ben, Miguel are top notch.
Whether you hate Ducati or not, Eric on a factory 999 is going to cause serious damage next year if it happens.

My guess is that Austin Ducati, the Ducati factory in Italy and Eric's camp are currently doing many overseas calls trying to hammer out some agreement. I would guess that Eric would be one of the more expensive riders Ducati could be looking at to get the Duc's to the front of the pack in AMA Superbike.
