Update on the Leightner situation...

BT Sports announcers commenting on the unrest in the Pedrosa team. Turns out Honda, no mention if it was Repsol or corporate, decided that 2 of Pedrosa's mechanics would not be returning next year.

Leightner decided if they weren't needed neither was he and tendered his resignation.

Purportedly the mechanics were 86'ed at Pedrosa's request.

Mike Leitner is Austrian.
I recall seeing that he lives close to where KTM is.
And KTM is making their way toward MotoGP.
Some of the dots may connect that way...

I just parrot what they say on tv. Tongue

Those dots may very well connect. Time will tell.

Wonder who Stoner will have as crew chief in 2016?

Have a feeling there may be PI wildcard next year.

The wind seems to be blowing Melandri toward that Aprilia seat.

In other news, Yonny will be riding the D14.2 next year.

Aoyama will be a test rider for Honda, and will race the RC213V-RS (2015 customer racer) at Valencia, I suppose in lieu of getting a gold watch.
But he'll get to ride better bikes now, so that's something.

Ioda will have Alex DeAngelis in MotoGP, nothing revealed about which bike they'll be using.
Perhaps another customer Ape?

Baz on the Forward Yamaha.
Melandri on the Gresini Ape.
DiMeglio on the Avintia Ducati.

Well, that's always a possibility.  laughingdp

But I'm pretty sure all of that is true.

Pretty sure Melandri hasn't been confirmed...yet.

A tidbit from a presser at Valencia, from Livio Suppo:
http://www.cycleworld.com/2014/11/08/is-motogp-racing-heading-toward-a-bright-future-manufacturers-hold-end-of-year-review/

"I think the production bike will be a big step from Moto3 for Jack, so he will ride that bike for the first three races."

So, the donk 2014 bike, or the 2015 bike?

And what of race 4 and beyond?

I think he's talking about the slow bike.
