If this is true...

Pedrosa a good replacement for Lorenzo due to similar riding style?

Therefore a good chance of Cal on the factory bike?

That all sounded pderbyerous.

I have to agree. Pedrosa has always been a point and shoot guy while in GP because that is the way the Honda must be ridden.

I doubt Cal will ever ride for a factory again.

It is a British mag, so they can dream.

I can see Yamaha going after Pedrosa. Ever since Puig got the boot and Dani became the #2 (both during the Stoner and MM years) things probably stopped looking so rosy. He has much less to prove, so he can focus on a big check. We don't know what HRC has offered either. They might be low balling him. I can think of a few worse situations than being Rossi's teammate on the best bike on the grid.

Brings up something that's being bandied about, how 'good' it's going to be for a rider as Rossi's teammate.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's only been 'good' to have Rossi as a teammate if you're not a threat to beat him.

The minute you become a threat, party's over.

That'll be interesting to see what comes of this rumor.

Not sure what to think about Pedro to Yam but MCN is normally pretty good about rumors... Cal to a factory team is pure hopes and dreams though.

And rumor seems to be solid enough that Emmet has written up about it...

The one that didn't crash his teammate out and lose Ducati manufacturer points.   ;)
