Hmm...wonder if that means The Mole is gone? Or maybe Capi? Or maybe both?

From what I've read, its Bautista and Capirex next year.  I guess the Mole is heading back to wsbk.

I don't believe that one.
+1. Although it might be good for both riders.
Nicky gets a rideable bike. Jorge gets a buckin' bronco and realizes how good he had it before.  Grin

aside from the possibility of having a two (or three) american team, hayden to yamaha isn't so far fetched. they were ready to give him a ride when he left ama superbike for motogp.

and then there's this:

That would be great for Ducati and horrible for Lorenzo's career.

I gotta say Hayden to Tech III and not Fiat is weird unless Yamaha can bypass the rookie rule and get Spies to Fiat.  It's even more weird because Melandri and Dovi (fast Italians who would make sense on the Fiat team) are already signed up.  Actually, on second thought, Fiat doesn't need another Italian.  A Spaniard is a good idea for marketing purposes.

i think that no matter which yamaha team spies goes to, he's going to have a rossi-level bike.

Oh, definitely.  I just find it weird that Hayden would go to Tech III, which would mean that Fiat would limit their choices for Lorenzo's seat to the existing MotoGP paddock instead of having their pick of everyone.  Isn't the common wisdom that if Spies is in MotoGP in 2010 (instead of 2011), it's with Tech III?

CE is gonna stay put.  And either way, everyone knows JT ain't cutting it.  I'd be really surprised to see him on a Tech III bike in 2010.

i'm pretty sure JT is headed back to production-bike land

re jorge, more of the same, but interesting... http://www.motogpmatters.com/news/2009/08/15/ducati_chasing_lorenzo.html.  ironic that just a couple months ago we were talking about how totally screwed ducati is if something were to happen to stoner

...seems that both ben and jorge are holding up decisions across both series.

and as an aside, interesting quandry: which of the two new gresini riders do you give the factory bike to?  cuz they only get one.
