Pedrosa a good replacement for Lorenzo due to similar riding style?

Therefore a good chance of Cal on the factory bike?

That all sounded pderbyerous.

I have to agree. Pedrosa has always been a point and shoot guy while in GP because that is the way the Honda must be ridden.

I doubt Cal will ever ride for a factory again.

It is a British mag, so they can dream.

I can see Yamaha going after Pedrosa. Ever since Puig got the boot and Dani became the #2 (both during the Stoner and MM years) things probably stopped looking so rosy. He has much less to prove, so he can focus on a big check. We don't know what HRC has offered either. They might be low balling him. I can think of a few worse situations than being Rossi's teammate on the best bike on the grid.

Brings up something that's being bandied about, how 'good' it's going to be for a rider as Rossi's teammate.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's only been 'good' to have Rossi as a teammate if you're not a threat to beat him.

The minute you become a threat, party's over.

Not sure what to think about Pedro to Yam but MCN is normally pretty good about rumors... Cal to a factory team is pure hopes and dreams though.

And rumor seems to be solid enough that Emmet has written up about it...
