All wrong! I thought the same thing too though, Tech 3 chassis designed by Guy Colon with Yamaha engine... sponsored by Forward.

Rabat will be on an FTR ZX-10R in MotGP next year (as reported by RRW, 9/2011 issue, pg. 53)

It DOES appear that Edwards will be off the Tech 3 team in 2011. This will give Dovi another solid team to land with when he gets the boot from Repsol at year's end. Tho he'll probably stay with Honda over at LCR, as nothing good will come from having both Dovi AND Super Sic on the same team (Gresini).

RRW is reporting that the Marc VDS Team has been working on a Suter-framed BMW S1000RR-powered CRT bike for some time. And Edwards IS stating that he has offers from multiple teams...I guess we'll see where he lands, but I'd be shocked if he stays where he is.

He's still fast as hell, tho

Umm... they announced Friday where he's going.

At the time they weren't for sure on that and still haven't confirmed who will be building the chassis. Suter might still build the chassis but Edwards still has a good relationship with Tech 3.

I love the rumour mill.
