Any news as to what barros is going to do?

Hopefully he will quit! C'mon alex you've been around forever and now you're just making up the numbers. Please retire, let someone else have a shot.
 
A couple of the low lights of Barros' career! They aren't indicative of it but good photos anyway!
 
So the silly season is over. Elías will go to D'Antín and De Angelis to Gresini.

Seems an interesting grid, lots of new riders coming (Lorenzo, Toseland, Dovizioso and De Angelis) and all of them very talented (except De Angelis).

But he's dangerous
 
Where is Nakano?
De Angelis is where and Where is Dovizioso?

Repsol - Pedrosa (confirmed yet?), Hayden (Michelin)
Yamaha- Rossi, Lorenzo(Michelin)
Kawak - Hoppers, Westy (Stones)
Ducati- Stoner, Melandri(Stones)
D'Antin - Elias, Guintoli(Stones)
Suzuki -Capirex, Vermulen(Stones)
Konica - Dovi? (Tyre???) --- Michelin
Tech 3 - Tyre tester, Toseland (Michelin)
Gresini - Nakano??, De Angelis?????
LCR - DePuniet (dumb move dude) (Michelin)

You guys sound like you have it down.... I am not sure about where Nakano is landing or Dovizioso? I know Dovi is in the GP but exactly which team and which tyres.

So, Here are the Lost boys:
Barros, Checa, Tamada, Kenny Roberts, Ginger kid, Hoffman

2007 - 5 michelin teams and 5 BStone teams.
2008 - I am assuming the same.

Anyone got it all sorted out... a little help please.
 
Repsol - Pedrosa (highly likely), Hayden (Michelin)
Yamaha- Rossi, Lorenzo(Michelin)
Kawak - Hoppers, Westy (Stones)
Ducati- Stoner, Melandri(Stones)
D'Antin - Elias, Guintoli(Stones)
Suzuki -Capirex, Vermulen(Stones)
JIR Kopron Scot - Dovi --- (Michelin)
Tech 3 - Edwards, Toseland (Michelin)
Gresini - Nakano?, De Angelis (Stones)
LCR - DePuniet (dumb move dude) (Michelin)
 
It has been confirmed that both Yamaha teams will use Michelin rubbers.
 
Pedrosa has signed for Honda for an extra two years, it is rumoured both he and Hayden are pushing for a switch to Bridgestones next year...
 
Strange, Pedrosa wanted a one year contract
<


I think that Honda will stay with Michelin...

Who's gonna be Tech 3 Sponsor for next season... Fortuna again maybe after losing Lorenzo

I can't find anything in the news about the future of Tony Elias. Where did you all get news of actually singing with D'antin?
 
Link in Spanish

It basically says it's done deal though it hasn't been anounced yet, apparently HRC wanted Nakano to get a Honda with Bstones and since DeAngelis had already been signed, that left Elías out.

De Angelis is definitely talented and not the dangerous man he once was. These days he is amongst the most consistent riders on the grid.
 
there have been rumours about a possible 3rd bike in one/few Teams!
is this still a issue or already gone?

kwaker...

have ruled out 3 bikes as hoppers salary took most of the money so they will probably run a few wildcards in '08 as they have this year..

suzook...

same as kawasaki really, a few wild cards and maybe a satellite team in 2009.i hope!
