Crutchlow extends his contract for another season

that would be great but only if its really full factory support like with sic/gibbers/melandri



if its not this would only make sense if its a 1 year deal and suzuki return in 2014
 
British rider Jonathan Rea is expected to be given a golden chance to show Honda that he is worthy of a full-time MotoGP ride in 2013 after being handed the opportunity to test Casey Stoner’s factory RC213V machine in Brno on Monday.

Rea, who is currently in Moscow with his Ten Kate Honda squad for round 11 of the World Superbike championship, is being lined up to fly to the Czech Republic to link up with HRC for the post race test in Brno.

The 25-year-old, who recently won the prestigious Suzuka Eight-hour endurance race for Honda, could replace injured Aussie Stoner in the next two MotoGP races if he performs well at the test.

Maybe he'll take out the leading three riders like he did last month. Could make the season exciting again.

Hehe. Its was so much fun watching him at Silverstone amongst the wolves: wils, lil R, ska, & Arab. I said before the start, lets see who JRea attempts to murder. And like clockwork, the homicide was almost suicide. In his defense, hes rides hard (in the wrecking ball sense) as he barged his way up from last to lead for a moment in last lap. Of course thats when he came in contact with Frabrizio, who has tried his own hand at bowling. Neither backing down, add the ithe sat Bmw, and two came across line gravel surfing.



Anyway, if he is given a wildcard, he'll be on the best bike on the grid (or is it the M1? I lost track). So i expect a podium, and nothing less.

You won't have to wait long for the next murder attempt! Guarenteed!

curious to hear your top 3 then! i don't think theres a better brit out there, can't judge hopkins on the zook.

couple of riders i'm not reallysure about but rea def. top 3.

> lets talk in the wsbk thread
 
i'm no insider but i doubt bradl would get stoners ride for 2 races.just no sense in it, the performance of the hrc bike shouldn't be that much better than his satellite bike and he would have to work with different people for just 2 races in his rookie season. no leap in performance expected.



On the GP coverage the commentators were saying that Bradl may just get the factory software for a few races. His bike is close to the factory bikes, mechanically.
