    Near the end he mentions that Zarco's name is somehow linked to Suzuki.

    That'd be great to see I reckon. Be his best chance at a title too I think.

    3. We both like beer. Hope you had a collect on the old Dog last week. If I was Pedro, I would've been looking to get on the Yamaha for years.

    A factory ride is everybodies top priority, but I'd put Tech3 a close second. Herve Poncharral is the best team boss in the paddock. I wonder what sort of deal Zarco has with Suzuki.

    I would have to become a faggy Yamaha fan boi though, but to see Dani win it would be worth the sacrifice.

    What's the bet it is all bull shit though and MCN is just stirring? Best to break it down to the facts:

    There is 1 spare seat at Yamaha
    There is 1 Andrea about to be booted from Ducati
    There is NO spare seats at Honda
    Suzuki have 2 talented riders they want to keep
    KTM have 1 spare seat
    None of the Satelite riders seem to be impressing massively enough to merit a step up into a factory team.
    Pedrosa on a Yamaha would be a fearsome pairing for a lot of a riders to contend with, something Pedrosa would no doubt be aware of.

    Guess we will all just have to wait until the music stops.

    More importantly, will Dani have any grip this weekend with Mitchies latest tyre gamble and his testing at Jerez?

    I had a $10 four leg multi which required JL to be on the podium.
    Won $107

    Thanks for the article links guys

    Yeh Boy Pedro to Yamaha!!
    Rossi wins no 10 one year. Dani finally wins a championship the next.
    By that time hopefully they'll all be in the mix, Yammy, Honda, Ducati, Suzuki, KTM and Apriilia.
    Then replace Vale with a hot shot and give Dani another year or two to teach him the ropes.
    Win Win

    There isn't gonna be a best bike in the paddock by fuck all margin next year.

    The Honda will be sorted...(its fucken Honda, ever seen it not be sorted after a year?) The Yamaha will be better at getting off the turn, the Ducati will be close enough to take out a few Hondas and Yamahas instead of each other, and it should be a good year of racing.

    I have absolutely no idea how this season will pan out. Doubtless the usual suspects going at it tooth and nail with a small host of contenders trying to get a wheel in front when they can.
    Reading the previous posts and opinions, next season looks even more epic. After last season? Crikey.

    I love motogp. Never has the description of circus been more appropriate.

    the honda has been a shitty bike for two and a bit seasons now.
