Absolutely love the Tornado but always felt he was way better/more fun to watch race in WSBK. Now if we can just get Nicky and Colin on RC51s again...

Speaking of swapping seats.  I think if you put Nicky back on the Honda GP bike, you'd have a copy of Dovi.  They are essentially the same rider, but one is on a crap bike.  Consistant podium threats, never win, and need the moons to align to win a championship.  Its the same scenario as when Hayden was originally riding for Honda.  Its been tough watching Nicky struggle on that Duc over the years he's been there.

"...Tech 3 Team Principal Herve Poncharal will get the steal of the silly season if Dovi signs with the Yamaha satellite team to replace the departing Colin Edwards, as rumored over the Indianapolis event weekend...."

Looks likes WSBK is going to have wait another year to have Edwards back.

Not sure there is a need to have yet another yami powered bike on the grid...

But I guess the more; the merrier.

yeah, but knowing how smart Guy Coulon is....I'd love to see his frame and the R1 motor shock the pants off the factory as a wink wink, nudge nudge Tech3 Satelite CRT...

I totally agree with this.

Nicky is a good rider. Not a "smash every record at every single track like Stoner" good but he definitely deserves a better bike

Simoncelli is staying with Gresni.  On a factory Honda.  If Marquez moves up, are there really going to be 4 factory Hondas on the grid?  I thought HRC wanted to downsize.

Poor Dovi.  Then again, it's his own fault.  He just needs to (a) be a threat to win, and (b) market himself better.
