Biaggi is "sure" next year he will be in MotoGP, although certainly "not on a Honda".

Considering Yamaha said they don't want him (although it would make sense that he went to Tech 3 team considering he's got Camel and Tech 3 hasn't got a sponsor). the only viable options are being in a 3rd Kawasaki or Suzuki (funded by Camel).

The Kawasaki option seems more likely but still not clear at all.
 
I read about that as well teo, I too think he is most likely to end up at Kawasaki with Camel money.
 
What an article, so well written and so absolutely correct. I can't believe it's a product of Speed TV.

Ooost i discovered a while ago that the only good read on speed is dennis noyes. he has been around a long while & is hooked up well. his rumors oft naught come to pass. he's well informed & writes an excellent article.
 
He´s pretty good, but well he learnt his ropes as a journo in Spain so quality was expected.

I read all his articles in MOTOCICLISMO mag, he gives a good insight of the situation.

He mentions this ban Honda has applied to Biaggi, and I find it quite interesting that no other manufacturer has accepted Biaggi and his sponsor, specially the Tech3 team which is struggling to pay the bills, I´m sure Poncharal would be happy to take the 15 million and Biaggi (heck for that money he would take the worst rider in the world!). Certainly Honda´s influence is very big on the paddock.
 
If you'll recall Teo, Yamaha have said they won't take Biaggi in either. The door seems to have slammed in Max's face in MotoGP, off to World Superbike for the Roman Emporer.
 
Yeah I know Yamaha has said no, but I don´t know why !!!
Yamaha makes money renting bikes to tech3, but tech3 isn´t in a position (economically) to keep on going, Camel´s money would be their perfect solution. I can´t see a reason to say no, maybe Yamaha are still pissed off because of the bad mouthing Max did about Yamaha in 2003???
 
That has to be it. Since the four strokes came to be Max had no kind words for the M1 and said publicly the only way he could win would be on an RC211V. It's unfortunate for Ellison and the Tech 3 team who could have used Max's Camel money but Max has burned his bridge with Yamaha just as he has with Honda.
 
Kawasaki and Biaggi did agree to a deal to run a third bike with Camel money!!

But, Biaggi still doesn't have a ride. The problem is Bridgestone sunk the deal, they already made their plans for 2006 and have said that they cannot add another rider to their tire program.

A deal was made but Bridgestone says they can't add another rider so they killed the deal. The only teams left for Biaggi are d'Antin, WCM, and Tech3, although Tech3 already refused Biaggi.
 
Biaggi dosen't win enough and complains too much, not to mention the fact that he's lost the competitive edge that took him to so many second place finishes

I hate to say it but poor old Max has just run outta spark and blamed everyone so much that no ones willing to help him in his hour of need.

It's good that he didnt go to Kawa. Thier green paint is wicked, so much better than placid camel yellow
 
Ok,looks like Max is out.Bridgestone have refused to supply extra tyres for him at Kwak.Retirement looms for the Roman Emperor!!
