and apparently if it's not this year, he can fill the spot with one of several riders that he doesn't even have to pay.

I am going to make a guess and say that Tech 3 is waiting to see if Ducati picks up Hayden for another season. Because I cant figure out where else this offer would come from. Maybe Pramac?
From Superbike Planet:
"Hayden said that he'd prefer to stay with Ducati and feels that he and the team are making headway in the fight to get him up front but that he has other offers to stay in MotoGP for 2010 if they don't pick up his option."

I'd be surprised if Ducati doesn't keep Hayden for 2010. He's been making good progress recently, they gave him his own 848 color scheme, and there's no one available that is better.

Oh yeah...forgot he hasn't signed.
MotoGP or WSBK...you have to admit it would be weird for Ducati to make a Hayden edition...then sack him at the end of the season. Not saying they wouldn't do it...but it would be kinda weird.

kinda weird, except for the fact that they already sold most (all?) of those special 848s. i agree it's odd.. unless you're in the marketing or accounting depts at ducati na.

He's right about their being an upper tier composed of four riders -- Stoner, Rossi, Lorenzo, Pedrosa. On *relatively* equal machinery (which they seem to have now), any one of them can win. If I were Ducati/Marlboro, I'd try to sign Pedrosa too, but as a fan, the thought makes me wanna punch myself in the junk.
I assume Honda will work it out with Puig and all the factory teams will stay together for 2010 (I'm not counting Suzuki as a factory team because . . . well. . . they don't count).

Just because Hayden wouldn't be riding a factory Ducati doesn't mean he won't be riding a Ducati. At last count I thought there were 3 other Ducatis in the field.

Don't forget that LCR is contemplating running two bikes. DePuniet and another rider. Maybe Hayden has an offer for that seat.

I would rather see the second factory Ducati sit in the garage all season then have Pedrosa ride it.
