Ben you are right but crash.net and superbikeplanet both reported it. Also, crashlnet mentioned it again in their race report. Two (very) credible sources mention it it may just be true!! But like you said, there's only six official rider announcements.

We will all know who goes where after the race in two weeks!!
 
Suzuki's team boss (Paul Denning??) said they dropped Jr because they were looking to work with a rider that would still be around in 2007, 2008. So I guess that puts Biaggi and Checa out of the game, and makes Vermeulen a more probable option.

Ben you've got to add Pedrosa and De Puniet to that list.

Ah ha señor Teo................I knew someone would mention those 250 dudes, thats why I said current GP riders. Do you think the Suuzki is gonna be competitive sometime soon?.................would be nice wouldnt it.

JT got a ride now Xb............thats good to hear................Verm's gotta be going to GP hasnt he!
 
I do not think it will be competitive over race distance but it does decent in qualifying. I think Hopkins was number one Bridgestone non Honda/Yamaha halfway through the season before Loris found some magic.

I sure hope CV comes to Suzuki they would have a great young team at their disposal and Paul Denning seems to have invigorated the factory team and seems to have more support in the future.

800cc should bring an even playing field. I think it will be a Honda affair at the beginning but I sure hope Hopper does well.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (xB Rida @ Oct 24 2005, 06:46 PM)<div class='quotemain'>Toseland has signed for Ten Kate Honda alongside Karl Muggeridge.  This leads to more speculation to CV signing a MotoGP deal next year.

We will see at Valencia.

Any announcement regarding Kurtis Roberts? He is testing the KR5 machine and will most likely race it at Valencia. It could be possible that we see Kurtis and Kenny Jr. along Kenny in the Team Roberts garage in 2006.
 
I just read on a dutch site, www.racesport.nl, that max is fired from honda!?! the site says that hungarion(??) (hungary) newspapers already announced his dismissal. this because max was realy negative towards honda after his raceresult in turkey.

the site also says that the bbc had said that max thinks honda is conspirering against him.

very big rumour, don't know if it's true!
 
Max didn't give the results Honda wanted. Also, HRC does not like when someone talks bad about their bikes and Max never talked positive about the RC so he is out.
 
You mean his fired now or after Valencia?
And with Honda do you mean HRC or all Honda teams?
 
He is not fired until after Valencia. Everyone knew this was coming. HRC does not let anybody talk badly about their bikes.

He is prob not going to ride a factory Honda again. There are three factory slots, the two Repsols and one held by Gresini. Hayden, Pedrosa, and Melandri are to have the factory slots next year.

If he rides Hondas he will probably ride customer-spec bikes (Pons) not HRC factory (Repsol, Gresini) bikes.
 
CV has spoken, he is now officially Suzuki MotoGP bound for 2006.
 
Im hoping for Shakey and Ellison in the D'Antin squad with Bridgstones next year!
 
Welcome le shakey but looks like u got ur hope cause the new roomer or it has been in the MCN. Ellison and shakey have send for d'antin ducati .

WELCOME LE SHAKEY

elias has signed for gresini honda
<
he's taking the place of gibernau. it's expected that gibernau goes to ducati and confirms it this weekend in valencia.
 
Interesting move by Elias. It would be interesting to see two young talents next to each other on Gresini's team. So far from what Gresini was proven is he can groom a young rider to perform so lets see what he can do with Elias.

Gibbers to Ducati is nothing new, I hope he does well there. He could very well give Capirossi competition as Bridgestone's number one rider and see where the development of the tire goes.

It will be a nice sight to see the Gresini team with Fortuna colors as well.
