Guintoli to join D’Antin Ducati

Antfan, not likely. I reckon the contenders for the D'Antin seat will be Barros/Guintoli/Dozy/Davies.... my guess is Dozy and Guintoli for next year.


Dovy? no chance, Honda for that boy. It should go to a good 250 rider though..

i'm pleased for the guy, good on him. but if he gets the ride at hoffman's expense, its a kick in the teeth for the german. first he takes u out and u have to sit out the next few races maybe the season and then he steals your ride. I'd be pretty pissed if i wa the hoff


What the hell? Are you and I, the only ones who notice that Guintoli rammed Hoffman at Laguna and Hoffman is clearly pissed about the incident? There is no chance Guintoli and Hoffman will be teammates next year, unless Pramac are dedicated to making the Hoff as miserable as possible.

The least D'Antin could have done is wait until Hoffman is healed before they kick him in the nuts.

Not a bad move for racing results, not good team management by any stretch.

Hoffmann won't be on the team next year. He's been outclassed and outperformed by Barros every time this year, and both are the only ones from a nationality, in fact Barros is the only South American, so its all pointing to Barros.

And don't scorn it, there are strong rumours linking Dovvy to D'Antin for next year. In fact the Guintoli rumour is a new one to me, I would have thought it would be Dovvy and Barros.

DeAngelis is rumoured to be taking a Gresini bike though.

Damn, I needed a good laugh before I went to bed!

Catch you all later

Dovi = LCR, DeAngelis = Gresini... Thats my guess..

Ahh I see the headlines now " Napoleon Mounts Mussolini "
Seems like the shortest route to Italy these days is through Japan.

Good deal for Guintoli but even better for Ducat for I bet they didn't have to pay much for him.
