  3. That will get the rumours flying . Wheres he going and more to it whos getting his ride. My money is on Dovi . Cal will stay where he is and Bradley Smith will take Dovi`s ride . Leaving Haden the best chance to stay with ducati.

  7. Well he obviously walked before he was pushed and judging from his Tweets, he wasn't a happy camper at Yamaha.Rossi to Yamaha, Cal to Ducati,Nicky to stay put, and Dovi to stay put.??

  8. Bad news for Spies, but yes this leaves Dovi or Cal as the obvious choice. Cal has a history with Yamaha and a good one at that. Would love to see him on the Ducati, but lets be honest, Hayden has been the No1 MotoGP Ducati rider since Stoner moved to Honda and he therefore deserves to stay. I recon that Cal will be sat astride the blue and white at Qatar in April. Dovi and Smith in the green and black, with Hayden on the red and white :upyeah: Now Spies, he's too good to go back to world supers. Somebody give him a BSB ride :biggrin::biggrin:.

  9. "i have chosen to leave!"

    Yeah right.........do they think the corporate comms crap is believed by the public? More likely "Ben you aint been performing, out performed by the satellite teams every week.......How do you want the public to be told you're out of here......

  10. Rossi wont go back to yam. I would place money that a condition of Lorenzo's contract was that Rossi wouldn't be offered a Yamaha ride...of any kind

  11. Yamaha would certainly like the Rossi Marlboro millions as this is the second season they have run without a sponsor. Could be.

  12. Must be Cal or Dovi for the job. I can't imagine Rossi going back straight in. If he doesn't win, it would be the end of his career. At least with Ducati, he has a 'mission' to complete and he'd gain more credibility for sticking it out there.

    If Cal or Dovi went, I'd love to see Scott Redding in the Tech3 seat. Or, Andrea Iannone

  13. There was a time when Scott was being touted by Ducati...

  14. I don't get the fuss over Hayden getting works rides. He won his Championship almost by default and i don't think he has won a race since.

  15. I put my money on a Rossi return and a win on his first race... place your bets folks.

  17. Seems to me he's selling his WSB trophy there, maybe to fund a ride in the series off "I dont give a fuck"

  18. He still is. Iannone on a Ducati, now we're talking. That guy is chicken oriental :upyeah:

  19. Ben's Peas and Cal to Ducati, Rossi back to Yamaha, and Hayden to WSB. Maybe. More likely Ben's Pies back to WSB...
