With a lot of riders coming out of contracts what`s your prediction.
Could we see Rossi back on a Honda
Crutchlow is showing some good form

Lin Jarvis doesn't sound quite as convinced of that as you are.

At this point in the season my pick would be Dovi. It was a dissapointment to me he lost out to gaining Honda ground when big hair was all the rage.
He certainly holds his own on race weekends and maturing riders win far more than whippersnappers.
I like his skill, his perseverance, and He carrys himself well with other riders.
He fits Honda bill very well. They could right what I feel was a mistake on Honda's part and it would go along way in letting me forgive what they pulled on Marco Melandri.

I'd love to see Rossi on a Honda next year. If Ducati don't sort it out he will have to think about fooking off.

Yamaha will need a rider who brings a pile of cash.Unless they find a proper big sponsor they may have to swallow their pride. Other than Rossi I don't think anybody else has such financial backing.
As stated,Marquez cannot go into a full works team as the rules state no rookies so he will go in a well backed satellite team.
Dovi only seems to perform under pressure of loosing his job so I can't see Honda wanting him back.
What's wrong with Bradl? Surely he has impressed so far. If Honda dont want another Spanish rider they are restricting their options
Bit early for any real way of predicting so early in the season but it's a good armchair game

Well Spies is looking like his ride might be up for grabs. Today's performance won't help his case. Bit of a long shot that Cal gets a full works ride. Can't see Tech 3 having 2 British riders so Cal will need somewhere to go and he is proving his worth at the mo
Espeleta has already said that there is no way Marquez will get the factory Repsol ride cos of the rookie rule.

If Spies does not lift he will go back to WSB which would make room for Honey Badger ?

Dovi back to HRC, Crutchlow and Spies swap places and Smith to Tech3.

Rossi going back to Honda again after their differences in the past, don't think so to be honest...

After watching yesterday's race, snooze fest, I really don't care who takes Stoner's spot. If Stoner is going to dog it for the rest of the season, he might as well leave now too.

I predict 2013 is going to be boring. There certainly won't be any dicing like the Moto 2 race between Marquez, Ionnone and Luti yesterday.

Rea has impressed this year in WSBK, maybe he'll get a bump up. And, I like the fact that he is willing to dice it up.

What about Nicky Hayden ? Or has he resigned with Ducati?

And why don't they just go back to 500s?
I'm really getting over the Moto GP all the stupid regulations engines, control tyres, weight, no farting in your leathers and now the CRT crap.
I have been following GP racing ever since Fast Freddie dethroned King Kenny. The good old 500s now that was racing no gimmicks just
man and machine.
Dorna need a big kick up the rear

Lorenzo & Marquez to Repsol Honda.
Pedrosa & Dovi to Factory Yamaha (only if Dovi doesn't keep slagging Yamaha off)
Spies & Bradley to Tech 3
Crutchlow & Bautistau to satellite Honda
