Edwards is hoping to retain his long association with Yamaha by securing a [color=#009900 ! important][font=inherit ! important][color=#009900 ! important][font=inherit ! important]deal[/font][/font][/color][/color] to lease WSB-spec R1 engines.

Would that not be 30-40 hp down to the new 1000cc GP engine

MCN Says Herve has been talking to Bradley Smith and supposedly offered him a ride for next year.
Bradley is refraining from an answer till later in the year.
So they say

Bad move. He's not ready. This move would be nothing more than a capitulation to UK media and the pounds such a move would generate on their behalf.

As we all know, by witnessing what is going down at Honda, its not always the deserving rider who gets the ride. Probably the one thing i hate about top shelf racing more than anything.
Spot on! No doubt.
I like Sic, he's entertaining but Honda attempting to set him up and scuttle Dovi is completely dishonorable and transparent. What a sham!

From all the press I have read it seems to me that Bradley would jump at a Tech 3 GP ride if Herve offered him it. I agree with Levi. He has had a promising start to his MOTO2 career but is he ready to ride in the big class ? I am not so sure. Marquez will definetly still be in MOTO2 next year, so Bradl does seem the obvious choices to step up. I gotta say that I would think Dovi or even Eugene Laverty would be a better option for next season than Bradley. Smith is an intelligent young guy and he has said that a motogp ride is everyone's Target, but he also realises that a wrong choice now could have a major impact on his career

Dovi is proving to be more like Hayden than i thought.
Good comparison, but his nationality is working against him in this instance. If he were American or British, he would be guaranteed the seat for next year.Being on of many Italian's or Spaniards in the ranks can be a negative as well as positive i guess. It will be a shame to see the 3rd, possibly 2nd place rider in the championship lose his ride.

Well bro, I'm not so sure nationality has anything to do with Dovi on this one issue of seats left on factory HRC, if anything, it helped his clout while being Pedro's teammate. Ok, so there are only two seats, we can't do much about that. Its a simple economic reality. So which two should lose their ride? Stoner, Pedro, Dovi, or Simo? Its your team, you have to keep two of them and two of them leave to satellite teams (its not like they're being banished to hell).
