Its going to be hard to predict who is going where.
I would think Ducati would pick Iannone over Dovi, Dovi is still riding well, better than Iannone at the moment but I think Dovi's best days are behind him and Iannone is still building his potential.

Who is going to Yamaha is hard to predict too. I would say Maverick but he would have to weasel out of his contract which states Suzuki can keep if he gets a podium this year.
There is also Pol who has a contract already with Yamaha through Tech3 but doubt Yamaha would want him with his lack of performance. Aleix will probably be wanting to get off the Suzuki that he cant make work this year.

Then there is who would go to Suzuki, possibly Predrosa if he cant keep his ride or Zarco or maybe Rins but I think Honda have eyes on him.

Does KTM have a second rider? Or is no one yet willing to flush thier career down the toilet with Smith?

Nah his crash rate last year

"Of the four riders that won races in MotoGP this year, Marc Marquez fell most frequently with 13 accidents, followed by 3 each for eventual champion Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa, and just 2 for Valentino Rossi. "

That's what you get when you try to make a motorcycle do things it can't mate. Think you'll find all of the Honda boys had *issues* no? Most still are. The Yamaha boys not so much eh?

That would seem to be the case, except that the electronics may have improved at least a bit.

The Ducati official position off the GP site

Speaking to Sky Italia, Ducati Corse Sporting Director Paolo Ciabatti discussed the recent signing of Jorge Lorenzo.

“We knew we wanted to ​​sign one of the best riders to allow us to win back a title," said Ciabatti. "This season the bike has been very competitive and has enabled the two parties to reach an agreement. I think the bike we have this year and the fact we have demonstrated its competitiveness has been key to reaching this agreement. I would say it was not difficult to convince Jorge.”

The Italian also went on to reveal that no decision has been made as to who will stay on as Lorenzo’s teammate: "We have not decided yet. First we wanted to ensure the signing of Lorenzo. Now we will wait to decide whether Iannone or Dovizioso stays. The two are exceptional and it will not be an easy choice. We have spoken to both of them and I don’t think the uncertainty over their future will affect them. We spoke with Jorge and does not care which one is his teammate.”

Unlike Rossi who squeals like a bitch should the team mate be too fast.

Crashers point is valid. Team mates don't stay Besties if they are faster than VR. Colin Edwards was probably his favourite team mate.

Oh no mate....I couldn't give a shit. But maybe you need to open your eyes to the facts one day.

And:

Michelin have announced that Reddings tyre failure was due the the high demands of the Rio Hondo circuit, the high temperatures, and Redding's build.
They will run the stronger construction tyres used at Texas for the rest of this season. Phillip Island is similarly demanding but the temperatures were lower.

They also say that Baz's crash was not similar, his crash was caused by a puncture.

Thats one way of calling a person fat I guess...

OK. I will take a punt:

MM
VR
JL

Dovi fourth and Iannone barges past Vinales for fifth.

What this prediction means is that Crutchlow will win with Baz and Bautista close behind.

Radding and Baz are taller than most. Michelin said pedro weighs about 60kg, Redding 80. That's quite a big difference.
