So assuming that Lorenzo decides that switch to the Duc (ugh!) a very coveted spot will open up on the M1. This will be a make or break season for many people. Would Yamaha promote from the satellites or look at someone more seasoned?
I still doubt Lorenzo would switch to Ducati, or better said, I doubt he would leave Yamaha. But I have been wrong before.

If You'reghey jumps ship, and I have my doubts also because I don't think he's convinced the Duc will be a winner, I think Yamaha goes after Vinales. If he won't move, then it's a tossup as to whether they look in house or elsewhere as I see it. Crutchlow had his chance. I don't see Tito as being the guy, and Danny Kent needs more time and is pretty much locked in with Honda. Who's coming that's more capable than Smith or Espargaro? Almost time for a silly season thread.  |

It's never too early for a silly season thread the year when most contracts are up! I doubt Cal will get the offer. He has done squat since leaving Tech3, mostly not his fault, but still. Smith has been the fastest of the satellites and whom I would consider the front runner if, like you mentioned, they can't lure Vinales fron Suzuki.

Comes at a great time for Lorenzo when he's trying to string out Yamaha.  Audi will keep signing cheques and giving good conditions until he says yes. He's going to Ducati. But I could be mistaken. |

Lorenzo can't ride the Ducati. It's not his style of riding.
Marquez and Casey can ride the duck.

That might be the case for the GP14.2, but the GP15 and up have been very different. Look back at the feedback from the riders, it is more stable in the corners compared to the older bikes. It is more of a mix of the Honda's squaring off the corner and the Yamaha's speed through it. Jorghey would need to adjust his style, but not as much if he was moving to Honda. The days od "Casey is the only one that can ride it" are over. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.
