So Capi to Tech 3 to fill the empty seat left by Edwards when he's riding Rossi's bike.
Fair enough.
But it says " That will leave a vacancy alongside Ben Spies at Tech 3, and Poncharal confirmed reports in the Italian press that Capirossi's manager Carlo Pernat has pushed for his rider - who is currently having a very tough season at Suzuki - to make a three-race move to Tech 3 before a full-time 2011 deal."

So WTF happens when Rossi comes back, and Capi has a full-time 2011 deal?

They going to have another Yamaha satellite bike?

Rossi ain't coming back. He'll be in red next season Grin

if I had to bet who would be vacating their seat from Repsol right now...my money would be on Smurfy McDouchenozzle to lose his seat, as it seems Dovi has gotten a handle on the bike and is showing a bit more consistancy thus far ( even though he isn't an alien with batshit fast abilities)...so that might mean that Dani could be taking Capi's seat on the Zuke' if he insists on having a factory ride...otherwise he might be relagated to a rejuvenated 1st tier satelite bike with a sudden increase in sponsorship money brought to the table ( ie: something akin to the Gresini bikes for example)...so that would set the table for Rossi on the Duc, and Casey at the bat on a Repsol....

the only thing I can't figure out though is, when does Capi or Edwards decide to retire ( at least from GP anyways)?

I think Capi's tired of tooling around in 27th place. My bet's on the next couple of years.

All this is serving to show that MotoGP has written themselves into a corner with the rules and the incestuous nature of the riders the teams use.

No way in hell Dani is not on a factory ride next year, whatever folks may think of him personally, he is still a worldwide top 3 rider WITH sponsorship.

Earlier this year i would have said Capi would retire, but now he owes the Italian IRS a shit-ton of money my guess is he needs the ride. Otherwise look to Colin and he to leave (imo) next year. Carmelo desperately needs more bikes on the grid preferably with more equitable spread of riders nationalities, a 16 bike grid is embarrassing. I think we can look forward to a rule rewrite soon to make it easier to get top riders on COMPETITIVE bikes soon.

This is all my speculation, your opinions may vary..  Grin

I don't care if it's 800cc, 930cc, 990cc, 1000cc, or trikes: As long as I see a yellow #46 on a red motorcycle from Bologna, I'll still watch waytogo

Zzzzzzz! Wake me when MotoGP is exciting again. I'm surprised they didn't ask King Kenny.

Booooorrrrriiiiiiinnnnnggggg. 

But that's pretty much what we'd normally expect -- a development rider.  It's that we all got our hopes up for this one.

Fack.  Does this mean we'll actually have to talk about the on-track racing?  Cuz that's just crazy talk.

Maybe we could talk about how Rossi is being taken care of by Arianna.  Evil
