    Dani Pedrosa has one more season with HRC before being given the flick, and HRC run Dovi and Kiyonari.
    yea that sounds about what the thinking is today.

    In addition JIR has an option on spies for '09 and talk of a split between JIR and Scot, with takayashi (250 JIR rider) being on the bike. . and checa is being touted as possibly the 3rd kwaka rider.

    Haga going to Ducati to takes Bayliss position is another interesting take, was a rumour he might take over the v4 aprilia.

    And Sykes from bsb(rizla team) moving to take haga spot

    Gibernau also had some personal family crap go on (lost his very close uncle or grandfather or someone) and had just had enough for then.
    Bearing in mind that he has a 250/500/MotoGP background I think he will go well on the new 800 bikes. The SBK riders really are the ones struggling the most in general (besides Marco and Westy). But there is something fundamentally flawed with the Kawasaki and the Ducati seems to suit a certain type of rider (Capirex, Stoner, Hayden??, Bayliss, Gibernau???).
    Onde2000 Ducati team with Gibernau run by Nieto family (Onde2000 are a Spanish property development company).

    Well to be fair Bayliss hasn't raced the 800 Duc, and Capirossi certainly found the 800 a fair bit different to the 990.
    If you're looking at ex WSBK guys then Edwards and Toseland have suffered with the Michelin tyres, and Vermeulan has done OK on the Suzuki hasnt he?
