I thought his spot was given to Pol?

+1 IIRC Pol was brought in after Cal had made the decision. Ducati was not pushing him out, they extended his contract. More likely they were hoping to have Dovi and Cal, both with experience on Yamahas and Honda, for this year's bike development. Who knows hat might have happened this year, but they were assured some very expensive test riders. Iannone was already set to riding a factory bike under Pramac. And I doubt the factories will have any issue hiring Cal as long as he improves his consistency. He might not be an Alien, but he's a solid #2.

I feel kinda bad for Hayden. I have to wonder what he could have done with the GP15.

2005 Triumph Speed Triple 1050
2003 Honda CR250

Slight deviation...experts, please...


With all the anal rules in MotoGP, how is (Honda) using last-year's chassis 'legal'?

If already answered, thanks for pointing me in correct direction.

AFAIK, there's no restriction on chassis version at all.

I don't think it even has to be homologated.
