I really think Lorenzo bolts for Honda with a big payday. I don't think Yamaha can afford two top dogs, and you have to keep Rossi until he retires. You already have The Ben in the back pocket.

btw.. in the course of the OEMs (probably) getting to run existing 800s
or
heavier-but-still-prototype 1000s as of 2012, honda and yamaha are the ones who have said we "want to keep the 800s".
valentino says the 800s are the biggest mistake of the last 15 years.
ducati would like to go back to 1000s.
just sayin'.

Yeah, but I want him to still think he has a chance at the pointy end of the field.

A dour-faced git he maybe, but he can ride The Ben's pants off in GP's, I don't see that changing anytime soon.

i think it's pretty evident that yamaha has a plan for spies... he's already occupying the "factory" seat on the poncharal squad. whether it's next year or the year after, unless something catastrophic happens, i full expect him to end up on the official factory team when a spot opens up.

With Ducati's new engine not scaring away every rider in existence the way the old engine did and given Lorenzo's comments from a coupla days ago about how close he came to switching to the Duc, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Lorenzo ended up in red rather than Rossi.
I
really
don't want to see it happen, but it's more of a possibility than I thought it was.

Pedrosa stays with Honda - pretty much forever. Puig is tied to Repsol pretty heavily and Spanish money demands a spanish rider
Rossi goes wherever he wants, but he has 2-3 more years.
Jorge stays at Yamaha - They need a lead rider for when Rossi retires, and Lorenzo is 2nd or 3rd in the paddock on talent and desire.
Hayden continues to do well, and moves up and up, REALLY stepping up when they go back to real engines.
Spies stays on the B team. He tragically has no personality and no endearing factors, and that sadly is what drives sponsor dollars. As an American he is locked out without a huge influx of talent on his behalf, i will be very difficult for him to ever find a front row seat in MotoGP. He is a great rider to roll around and get points and do some development, notice he is on the development team with CE2. Learnign how to develop a bike for a fast euro.
Stoner will NEVER, EVER ride for a team where Livio Supo is. Ever. Private story, but look at what happened in 2009, and you should be able to figure it out. He stay with Ducati, then moves to Suzuki for a season or two, then fades away.
Dovi on a Honda for the near future.
Simon' Becomes a rockstar in his own right over the next few years, having his huge personality drive him to big wins, big crashes and big paychecks.
