yep, saw that a couple times.. don't think it's been talked about here.

not so surprising.... niccolo has been sweeping up the rear all year and espaaraaararrraggo got, what, 5th fastest time @ indy or sumthin?

Or if you are Rossi, Esparharo.

That kid is seriously doing great and I think he would be a good replacement for Canepa.

sure.  but he says that intentionally.

 
You try to educate people but they just don't learn....

silly-related, interesting, and long overdue.  also interesting for the "4 races" tech 3 factoid.

and more who-gets-what-yammie talk

Re Yammies . . . Crutchlow to moto2.  de angelis should stay in motogp, but he torpedoed his chances of that happening when he torpedoed hayden and edwards.  Camier to Yami WSBK in place of Sykes.  The Ben to Tech 3.  Toseland to Ben's WSBK ride.

The interesting part is less the lie from Honda that they won't build the bike for Pedrosa.  It's how they dealt with the Puig situation.   

Crutchlow for sure gets a wsbk option if he wins wss.. i had forgotten about that contract clause

if?

Spies to Tech 3 with Edwards and Crutchlow to WSBK?

I think they should put Spies in GP even if he doesn't win the championship (which is looking unlikely at this stage). Crutchlow to WSBK in Spies' seat also makes sense. They don't have strong riders in either of the other seats on either team so ditch them & move on.

...This frees up his seat with the Belgarda Yamaha WSBK team...

sure, that almost says Sterilgarda.  or is that a parent co or something?


btw, motomatters and crash are both echoing the Team Texas speculation.  however both are mainly just quoting visordown & MCN.
