They said "big changes next year... money is a problem.. etc etc" but no mention of Suzuki leaving as yet.

Interesting MM note: he was asked if honda paid him in 2020, he said they respect him, and he feels like he is more than a number there, its not just about the money and the bike, its about more than that.. "sentimental", he said he asked them if they would apply the contract (I think he would have been paid for one race only) - so it seems they paid him. I dont think he would leave Honda even if offered more money.

Well that sux. Hopefully Aprilia will fire Vinales and scoop up Pol.

“Dorna Sports has officially contacted the factory in order to remind them that the conditions of their contract with MotoGP do not allow them to take this decision unilaterally.”

Which translates as, you will need good lawyers…

Still, it would deteriorate into farce if Suzuki were forced to race against their will.

I was wondering about that.

Some possible options, some new factories interested? I wonder who? Kawasaki? Triumph? Anonymous unbranded GSX's run but some other manufacturer?

I think it's wishful thinking. Piaggio would love to kill the MotoGP team off.

Fenati has been dropped by Speedup. David Emmett says it was because of a lack of results. Lopez gets the ride. Fenati has shown a talent for turning up again, it’s not impossible he could find another ride.
