Difficult to analyse Suzuki potential, says Dovizios

[Shaun Harris]

This tells me he is seriously considering there offer. RD was 1.4 slower than Dov at recent test session, so I reckon the Suzuki with a current fast fresh rider is a Top 6 bike Now!!!!~ and poss even better than that. They really do need ONE top fast rider, other wise the whole exercise is a waste of time

Jorge? Danni?

oooh the Espargaro bro's that would be a good team.

Jorge or Danni yes please but doubt the cheque book on that one for the wages and why not for Espargo but still think they will need and will get One very experienced and fast rider so I only really see Crutchi or Dovi- Of Course Nikky H is another long shot

I wouldn't write off Pol and Aleix as they are 6 & 7 in the points standings just behind Dovi so that only leaves the top 4 of which we know both Val and Marc are signed for two years.
Cal is signed for another 3 if I remeber rightly and dovi for 1. (i could be wrong as i haven't followed it as much as I would like)

I do think the gamble of the Espargo bro's would pay off.

[codgyoleracer]

Yep, Asparagus would be a good choice. I still like Ianone and Bradl as well as an option, but not sure on their contracts ?

Dovi's out of contract end of this year
Crutchlow end of next year but has a pull out option in his contract, apparently he has to commit by July if he wants to stay at duc

[HenryDorsetCase]

Bradl I like.

and Dani is off contract at the end of the year. But didnt he ask for 8M Euro?

[Drew]

I bet they take Crutchlow, and he continues to get his arse handed to him.

He's not that good on a bike that isn't mostly set up to ride before he sits on it. Tech 3. "Whine whine, cry cry, I want the new fuel tank". After it's fitted. "Whaaaaaa, put the old one back in, I'm slower". Yet Rossi and Lorenzo both went faster after setting it up.

Both are availlable as contract runs out this year, CC By his own choice of walking away

[FROSTY:Me]

Definitely lorenso. Although if pedrosa keeps playing second fiddle he might jump ship.
By all accounts that bike is an apsolute weapon

What bike? The Suzuki? Bit early to be saying that if that's what you're referring to. I'd say it's still a fair bit off the pace.

happy to be proven wrong mate but I thought it looked pretty darn quick in unofficial practice before and after motogp.

I just don't think old RDP is that far off the pace as a rider...so we'll see before too long I'm guessing. But pretty hard to be out of the game for a few years then storm back in and expect to be on the pace right away mate...

One to two seconds off lead pace when he was racing. Seems like the figures stack up.

On what bike when? Maybe my memory is fogged because Rach wanted to root him! But on a semi decent bike, I don't recall him being that far off the pace.
