Well, there's good news around

1. Motorrad is 2% of the whole Empire (they have the luxury to do some silly things without hitting the red in their books).

2. Troy is out next year (WSB) > so there's a theoretical chance that Rennsport couldn't replicate some Toyota F1 stuff (zillions gone, no podium(s)).

3. Blade is ugly (that mass centralization thing maybe?).

Bad news:

you can imagine, I guess...
