There is no way MM will not be riding a Honda unless he implodes. HRC has been backing Pedrosa all these years with no championship to show for.
I was more thinking he may like a challenge...I am sure he will be there as long as he wants. HRC will match any $$$ offers as usual to keep him. He will want to win more championships than Rossi. Depends on how he wants to achieve it I guess....As Rossi did across diff manufacturers...

HRC learned from the way they handled Rossi back in the day. They will make sure to do whatever they can to keep MM happy. I doubt MM will want to jump ship unless the bike stops being competitive.

Seems like HRC has become a more family team than Ducati Corse. Stoner was treated like a king at Honda compared to how was treated at Ducati. Ducati need Eraldo Ferracci to come and make pasta for the team like in the old SBK days.

i hope that miller's move to MotoGP doesn't mess him up. Seems like a pretty solid talent and if he does well I can see him taking over Pedro's spot. But I look at hopper and all the promise that he had and where he is now and I have my doubts.

Although it'd be great to see him there, I agree he should have won Moto 2 & 3 first. Seems the thing to do. You're right, one injury can change everything.

It was funny when they interviewed Pramac's manager on Saturday and he let slip that they were signing an "italian" rider. After weeks of talking about Laverty being brought in, the announcers were kinda deflated.

M620 turned M800 but then back to M620 after the M800 died at 110k, and now to Multi 1000.
