sorry, i can't let a mention of capirossi being taken out by his teammate go without pointing out it's karmic payback for loris' own team violation:
Moto 250 GP Capirossi vs Harada Crash
this is loris torpedoing his teammate at the final round of the 1998 season to take the championship. aprilia was so pleased that they fired him.

+1 GM2, Capo is highly underrated. Hell, he managed the unrideable much better than anyone bar Stoner.

Tis confirmed that Stoner is going to Honda. Ducati sent an announcement an hour ago on facebook too. Hopefully there will be more 2011 announcements now that this domino has fallen.

i hope so, it sucks that it seems only the factory bikes have a chance at winning, and there are only 6 factory bikes on the grid (suzuki doesnt count). Hayden cant win anywhere other than Laguna so essentially 5. Dovi is kinda a random draw to win, so now were down to 4. Has anyone besides the top 4 won a race in the last few years? Excluding wet races....
Hate to say it but the factory teams are turing the racing to shit, unless they supply the sat teams with the same stuff. Why during the 990 years it seemed like there were many more sat teams that had a chance to win and did on occasion?

because most of those satellite riders were on the RC211V and that was one hell of a bike.
and there was tire competition.

Good point. Rain races excluded, when was the last time a non-factory bike won a race that wasn't a Honda? Any in the four-stroke era?
