    I doubt it. He has his Aprilia contract though. I'd be shocked if Vinales does not get the Yamaha seat.

    The Honda is really Shiite this year and Marquez is doing really well to get it where it is.

    I think he will win lots :)

    It would be something if Laverty could get a Suzuki ride, that bike isn't far away.

    Did he not ride the WSB Suzuki with the promise of a switch to their GP team before it all fell apart and he jumped to the Honda GP bike?

    You mean when Crescent ran the Suzuki WSBK team and then switched to WSBK Yamaha?
    The Suzuki is a Full factory team, he'd be ideal and they are going to be short a rider if Vinales goes to Yamaha with Rossi next season.
    Who would be better? :D
    Crescent don't have the knowhow for the WSBK Yamaha it seems, they have struggled this season so far, when SMR had that bike running really well in BSB and it won the Suzuka 8hrs.
    It spat Guintoli off yesterday in a vicious highside busted his ankle and knocked him out.

    Seems to be a bit of talk that Dani Pedrosa will join Rossi at Yamaha now.

    With Cal potentially going to Honda - stranger things have happened - Zarco is lined up to take Vinales seat if he moves to Yamaha.

    Vinales's manager said he didn't believe the reports either and said that Vinales would make his decision tomorrow.

    Is Cal good enough for the factory Honda? I'm not convinced to be honest but saying that who's better that could go to Honda.

    Crutchlow wasn't good enough for the factory Ducati when it was a worse bike than now. No chance he'll get on a factory Honda, he can barely justify a satellite ride in MotoGP imho.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Have they got rid of the rule whereby a moto2 rider cannot go up into a factory ride?

    Who would Honda want instead of Dani? He is the next best out there, unless they go for crazy joe, but he seems to be doing fine where he is.

    They got rid of that rule just before Marquez came up to MotoGP.

    I know you're not all Rossi fans but I think that these should be a good watch.

    Dani just signed another 2 year deal with hrc honda.

    I wonder if it was a good move for him.

    Maybe it was his only move? If vinales has the yamaha ride and it just hasnt been announced

    Vinales to Yamaha although not confirmed seems to be a done deal too.

    Is Dani committed to being on the Repsol or might he be farmed out to a satellite Honda?

    I'll eat my hat if he doesn't go to Yamaha.

    Agreed, I'm sure Dani signed for a full factory deal only.
