I guess I meant the claim on the RedBull website that they sponsor Team Yamaha.

Really? I just had a good look at the Yamaha bike in the pit (watching FP1) and it clearly shows Movistar and right underneath it Monster Energy. No RB at all on the wall or the bike that I can see.

Emmett posts about it and he's normally not one to post really wild rumors:

https://motomatters.com/news/2015/11/11/casey_stoner_to_return_to_ducati_in_test.html

So uhh... when is Dovi's contract up? And the weather around me isn't the best today but I'll be looking out the window for flying pigs all day.

The Unibrow might be the reason I could see him coming back to the fold. Gigi seems to listen to the riders and adjust the bike around them. And that might be what Casey has been looking for.

I think Casey is pissed at Honda for not letting him sub for Dani. That is enough reason for him to leave the Honda 'fold'.

Whether he'll ride for Ducati remains to be seen.

If he throws his hat into the ring for the 2017 lineup... man, it'll be a blood bath to see who'll be the team that gets him. I can't really think of a team that wouldn't mind swapping someone out for him. I could even see Yamaha giving up Rossi for Casey if Rossi doesnt perform well in 2016.

Rossi is valuable to any team even if he loses...at least for now.

We don't even know if he'll want to compete after 2016.

How long has he been out of MotoGP? He's a not a sure bet for either Yamaha or Honda, but for the smaller manufacturers he should be worth the risk. He has bitter/sweet history with Ducati, so riding for a Suzuki or Aprilia might be better, but I believe he wants to be competitive right away. Ducati would be the logical choice.

That could be pretty cool.  waytogo

Interesting that HRC didn't listen to his feedback regarding the aggressive nature of the motor. HRC not listening to riders? Say it ain't so!  laughingdp

With the unibrow in charge at Ducati, I'm pretty sure they'll listen to what he has to say.

Everything says testing with possible wildcard activity, yes?

Nothing about a full-time return to MotoGP, yes?

Both Iannone and Dovi are under contract. This is probably a stepping stone at replacing one of them, probably Dovi in 2017, but most likely it's a feeling out period considering how the relationship ended last time. Probably still some raw feelings.
