so Moto GP silly season is on

[akira700]

So now let's see:
confirmed
Hopkins to Kawi
Melandri to Ducati
Jorge Lorenzo to Works Yamaha
Did I miss any others?

Does this mean Edwards is gone to a satellite Yamaha team?
Where goes Capirossi?

i really think hayden needs to go to kawi - they'd take care of him as they need a top caliber rider

the'll love hopkins

edwards is still up in the air, we'll find out next month. chances of him staying on a factory yamaha are slim but possible. rossi is not lorenzo's biggest fan so lorenzo will probably end up on a one-man factory team. i could see edwards being offered a seat on tech 3 yamaha with the dunflops and rossi and lorenzo each being on a one man team. edwards will turn down the tech 3 ride i think and go back to wsbk.

capirossi is in talks with suzuki and kawi. livio suppo of the factory duc said he would run a third factory machine just for loris, but doubt he will take the deal. i'd like to see suzuki put up the change for a B squad run by schwantz, loris could go there and schwantz would bring spies along as a second rider.

kawi is up in the air. they have the potential to team hopper up with capirossi, west, depuniet or.... r hayden. i could see them running 3 bikes.

no idea what honda is going to do. haydens contract is good for another year, but pedrosa's isn't and he has already threatened to leave. i don't think he has the balls, but anything is possible.
