So now this is truly silly. Both guys that everyone thought would jump into Yamaha seem to be staying put. First, is the prospect of being Rossi's teammate so bad that no one wants to ride the best bike on the grid? Second, who is the third choice? I presume that whomever is dropped from Ducati would have the inside line. Yamaha would become an all Italian team!
I think Yamaha would consider Iannone but not Dovi. (By Yamaha I mean Rossi.) Dovi is too old and lacks that drive that the aliens have. |

Sadly, Iannone has the drive but tends to drive it right off the track. I cant think of who would be #2 on the Yam though if they dont take Duc's leftovers. It's just weird that the arguably best bike on the grid might be the one that cant find a good replacement. That being said... I'd have a hard time sticking with Honda if I was Pedro. The bike doesnt seem to work with him and he's never won a championship with it... if I were him and the chance to jump ship was there I'd take the gamble. |

I have to agree with thought...Iannone may have the drive, but lacks the talent and racecraft of an Alien. |

One has to remember that a quite a few good riders crashed a lot in their early GP days. Iannone might eventually settle down and become a very good racer.

Alex Rins to yamaha.
He has natural talent
Would not be a threat to Rossi and is Spanish which the movistar sponsor wants. He has been offered satellite rides but is holding out for a factory rides.... maybe one in Blue?

Possible. Rins does have talent. He seems a little inconsistent. Maybe lack of experience, or maybe the bike. It would be interesting to see him on a factory GP bike... just like it would be interesting to see kopf's boy on a fully developed bike. |

Smart move I'd say. Open spots on the Yam don't come around too often. |
