Shame quality rider but Ive never particularly warmed to him.
Either way his talent will be missed next season.

Very talented rider but dummy comes out to easily when things don't go his way!
Bit of a shock tho, still very young and currently on best bike!

Love to see Crutchlow on that Honda. Bradley smith is moving up to the Tech3 Monster team next season so Crutchlow or Dovizioso will be making way!

I heard Smiths move up was dependant on him getting a certain amount of top 5 finishes in Moto2 though so he might not be going anywhere yet.
Also can't see anyone but Marquez getting that Repsol ride!

New riders to MotoGp can't go straight into a works team so Marquez and anyone else will have to go to a satellite squad.
I reckon Lorenzo might jump to the Repsol team leaving room possibly for Rossi back at Yamaha. So many possibilities now though for riders/teams.
Good on Stoner too for basically saying that too many rule changes and what should be GP bikes going down the route of becoming flash Superbikes are ruining the sport!

Didn't Lorenzo go straight onto a works Yamaha?

Pedrosa also went straight from 250s to Repsol Honda.
Have they brought this rule in recently?

I'd heard they were considering to try and help out the CRT teams but I'm not sure if it's set in stone.
Even if it is, despite not normally being that interested in conspiracy type stuff, I really can't see the biggest rider in Spain at the mo going anywhere but Repsol if he moves up, especially with Dorna running Motogp.

Yeah its set in stone. It was brought in after Lorenzo moved up. Suzuki were allowed to run a new rider because they only had one team in the championship hence why Bautista went straight there and Barbera etc went to satellite teams.
But as you know, Honda pull the strings so that rule will be changed to suit them. Can't believe how lucky Pedrosa is. Gets to keep his seat in the factory team for yet another year! Honda don't usually allow people to keep their seats in the factory team without winning championships!
