That scenario assumes that Repsol would be willing to give up their lone Spanish rider.  Which is possible, but it might not be something they want to do.

We all thought the same thing about Ducati giving up their lone Italian rider.

They didn't have an Italian rider.  They had some Italian guy in Marlboro gear riding sweep.  Besides, Marlboro--who pays the bills---isn't Italian.  Repsol is Spanish.

I know, I know...not totally relevant. But it was heretofore unthinkable that they'd go with an American and an Aussie.

Maybe Repsol will go after Lorenzo instead or even drop their sponsorship all together. You never know since probably HRC is not the happiest with the turd.

i still don't understand that reasoning... in that other sport, they had a german and a brasilian... then they let the german go in favor of a finn (keeping the brasilian, still no italian driver on the team). and then they let the finn go in favor of a spaniard (yup, brasilian teammate).

wanna know what the current rumor is? letting the brasilian go in favor of a pole.

the only thing ferrari/ducati/marlboro care about is winning, they don't care who's in the car or on the bike when it happens. it could be borat or bruno, for all they care.

OK, here's the latest unofficial bombshell:
http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-racing-news-moto-gp/unofficial-stoner-signs-for-repsol-honda/11425.html

I don't believe it for a second. But I'll reiterate my predictions:
Quote
Yamaha: Lorentho, The Ben
Honda: Stoner, Dovi
Ducati: Yeah, I'll say it...Rossi
Suzuki: Does it matter/Smurfy McDouchenozzle.

...and then the class implodes in 2012.

So it begins. I hate to quote myself, but...

Honda dumps Pedrosa and grabs Casey.

So Ducati will either go after Rossi, which I doubt will happen, or go after Lorenzo.
