good sumary
if the rumours are right big teams wont talk to garry johnson for similar reasons and proberbly guy martin aswell

I haven't heard any rumours about Gary Johnson being black listed by any of the major teams.  I know he wanted a bit more than Triumph was willing to pay but that seemed about it.    

As for Guy, my impression is that people sign him because he brings sponsors and fans and he's good.

You need to read the Smiths Triumph feature in last weeks MCN. Acording to them, it is a lot more than a 'bit more' than they were willing to pay. That together with his comments about mentally destroying GM, and you have a whole other ball game that some teams wont want to play.

Do you think other teams have blacked Gary Johnson because Smiths couldn't/wouldn't meet his pay demands? I don't think so. Also it seems to be a given that the Triumph is the bike to be on for a Supersport win, it didn't work out so well for Michael Rutter 9th 2 minutes behind Johnson then the next Triumph 19th and 10 minutes behind.
Maybe just maybe if Triumph don't win the Supersport races this year they will think Gary Johnson would have been a bargain!
