how reliable are your sources gav?

They are rumours, the silly season is in full swing!
Biaggi could be line for one of the Suzuki rides, but more likely he will end up back with the Sito Pons team on a Honda with Chris Vermuellan as team mate.
Dani Pedrosa will be teamamte to Nicky Hayden in the Repsol Honda team.
James Toseland is another who could be moving to MotoGP.
Alot of these rumours are out of Spanish newspapers and also the rumours doing the rounds in Barcelona, sorry couldn't possibly reveal my sources
Other big talk I've heard is...
1) Alex Barros to retire at the end of the season.
2) Michele Fabrizio to come back to MotoGP with Tech3
3) Kawasaki seems to be talking to Marco Simoncelli
4) Casey Stoner has no interest in racing MotoGP next year.
5) MotoGP to go to a single tyre company next year, that being Michelin.
6) And finally, the race at Laguna Seca being a one-off unless safety issues are addressed. Talk has the MotoGP race moving to Homestead but I've heard Dorna really want it to stay in California.

If Toseland goes to MotoGP at least that will let the WCM bikes beat someone for a change......haha
