Maybe some at Yamaha, the people he exempt, were pushing for him to stay. In the end, Yamaha has to weigh their options and with Lorenzo pretty much dominating and the satellites not too far behind, they can't justify keeping him around

This.

Pretty crazy moves happening everywhere... and I'd love to see BMW/Suzuki come back in 2013 and make it even crazier.

and also...

yam: Lorezo/Rossi?
tech3: smith/dovi?
ducati: cal/spies?

hayden wsbk?

  ducati: spies?

hayden wsbk?

I doubt these predictions....

from what we know...I'll throw out my oddball off the wall guess though...cause it'll seem about as valid as reality currently...

Ducati = Rossi/Crutch
Yamaha = Jorge/Dovi
Tech 3 = Smith/Hayden

I think all of Yamaha's eggs are in the Rossi basket. If Rossi stays and Crutchlow goes to Ducati, then who else but Dovi? Both Nicky and Dovi have similar riding styles and Dovi is currently racing a Yamaha for good results.

agreed.  my comment has more to do with marketability, popularity, and other non-racing factors.

They might try to sign Nicky to Tech 3 just to appease Yamaha USA.
