No surprise here, but in WSBK, Biaggi is staying at Aprilia through 2012.

So what are the odds that Rossi will be pissed about this unofficial announcement by Ducati, and it makes the deal go south?   Shocked

If it's signed, then Yamaha is the only one that would be pissed, since it's a "gentleman's agreement" between Ducati and Yamaha. Rossi probably doesn't give a make the beast with two backs.

This is comical.  laughingdp

Meanwhile, MCN has been reporting the move as fact for the last few weeks...as well as Spies jump to the factory team to take his place.
