Yeah I just read it too.
Guess he was looking for a paycheck and not a win

Nope. He's looking for the chance to win. Nothing but a factory ride provides that.

Even if it's no chance in the next year.

plus, he gets to ride the same bike at least 2 years in a row.  and he must assume/have been told that ducati are really serious about changes now that they've screwed up the dream scenario.

Bit of a coup for Ducati, getting the #4 guy in the standings (Alien-in-Waiting?)

Sounded like..." we were gonna offer him a contract until Rossi said he wanted to come back, so we gave him the boot instead".  Undecided

The announcers on the Eurosport feed were hinting that Fausto and Honda were on the outs and that Gresini will be a CRT Aprilia team with LCR getting the second Honda.

Be careful Ben.

The Spies-Gresini deal also depends on various factors, not least approval and confirmation from HRC that they will again supply Gresini with bikes and technical support next year.

The HRC-Gresini Team talks were running in parallel with Spies negotiations at Brno and are still to be concluded.

I read that.

The intimation was that HRC was pissed that Fausto wanted an ART bike in the same garage as the Honda.

I'm suggesting there will be no Gresini Honda in 2013.

Wanna bet? Evil

Same deal as always...$25, or more if you wish, to the AFF.  Grin
