It is confirmed that Dovizioso will be in MotoGP in a team which may be called Force and that has resulted from the union of JiR (Montiron's team) and Scot Kopron, Dovi's 250 team.

Note that Scot Kopron will be the only team to compete in the three categories.

It will also continue to enter Takahashi with a Honda 250 and two KTM 125 for Corsi and maybe Federico Biaggi (Max's nephew).

If he can ride an 800 like he rides a 250, he'll get a factory ride soon enough. Everybody knows he's squeezing every last ounce of speed from that Honda. This is great news.

Now the real question is...

What does this mean for Shinya Nakano and Konica Minolta?

Mate I agree with you. Dovi has done a wonderful job this year on the Honda and has remained loyal to the brand. At the worst I would have thought, he would be on the Gresini Honda next year. IMO anything less is a slap across the face.
