WTF!?!?! WHY APRILIA???? What team? Is the Fortuna Honda team a factory operation or do they lease machines from Honda? Because if that's the case then I could see the team switching to Aprilia. I'm a little disappointed, they had futures with Honda.

Yep the whole Fortuna 250cc teams moves from Honda to Aprilia, ironically the Fortuna MotoGP team does the inverse trip from Yamaha to Honda.

Yeah, he should definately have a ladder because the podium steps are also too high and he will need to climb up there a few times next year

Lots of movement in the 250cc

Honda's lineup is completely changed, with Pedrosa gone to MotoGP, Lorenzo and Barberá gone to Aprilia and Aoyama gone to KTM (this is a shocker, I thought Aoyama was the next Honda boy).
Puig team has signed Porto to sub Pedrosa and Repsol to sub Movistar.

The Pog is back in 250 with KTM also (the Austrians are trying to establish themselves in this category with force).

Aprilia factory has signed Simoncelli, I guess this means they dump Corsi, who has been the worst factory rider of the year.It's good for Simoncelli, the 125cc was too little for him.

Any news on who will team Porto? HRC need another stud to groom and I don't see any better candidate than Luthi.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET ANOTHER JAPANESE GOLDEN BOY ??!!

For me thats the one thing thats missing from motogp at the moment- an extremely talented Japanese rider!

Nakanos not going to do anything spectacular, Tamada had a bit of a shine but seems way too inconsistent(and doesnt seem to like Michelins) and Kiyonari? hes good and fast but hes no golden boy really...

oh well...
