yeah, i know what you mean, but to be motogp wc, you cant be riding a satellite bike. and if history has shown us anything, its that satellite riders remain satellite riders. whatever happens, it'll be a tough decision for him.

Dovi started on a satellite Honda and got a factory ride the next season.

Spies started on a satellite Yamaha and got a factory ride the next season.

Ianonne to stay with Pramac on identical bikes as Cal and Dovi. New rumor, A Espargaro to Suzuki to team with Vinales. Never did think Suzuki was going to go with DePuniet.

Poor Randy. I guess he'll just have to console himself in the bosom of Lauren. Yep, sure does suck to be Randy. Maybe he'll get an offer for the Avintia GP14, I'm sure all the concussions from the Pramac ride erased any bad memories he had with the Ducati.

Nice work from Ducati, Crutchlow and Dovi seem pleased with whats coming out in 2015.

Speedweek reporting Lorenzo has signed with Yamaha for one year only.
Another report say he not only did not take a pay cut, he got a slight raise.

Bradley may just keep his ride by default. If in fact A Espargaro and Vinales have signed with Suzuki, who is left. Bradl is signed, Miller is the only Moto 3 guy and he is supposed to be hooked up with Honda and Redbull. Maybe they can reward the 112 year old Shakey Byrne when he wins ANOTHER meaningless BSB championship

I love the fact JL caved to the pressure from Yamaha for 2 years....and since there are no other decent rides left until 2017....

So Lorenzo would've had a reduce amount on negotiating power, anyone think he took a pay cut?
Jorge now on more or less than Vale?
Have to be less.

MigsAngel · Aug 8, 2014

I read JL is still making more then Rossi.....at least what Yamaha pays them....

MLPerformance · Aug 8, 2014

Last I heard Rossi's 2014 salary is $12 million with $10 million more coming from other sponsorship. Lorenzo is currently making $7.2 million from salary, and another $2 million from other sponsorship. The next highest earning rider is Marquez, making a combined $5 million from salary and sponsorships thanks to his newly extended contract with Repsol.

Petrucci to Pramac Ducati, didn't see that one coming!

Good job, it's nice to see a rider who has earned a factory bike chance.

MotoGP News - MotoGP: Petrucci confirmed with Pramac Ducati

After battling back-of-the-grid machinery for the past three seasons, Danilo Petrucci will get his chance on the more competitive Pramac Ducati in MotoGP 2015.

The 23-year-old Italian joined MotoGP as the 2011 FIM Superstock 1000 runner-up (on a Ducati) in 2012. Remaining with IodaRacing throughout, Petrucci spent two seasons on Ioda/Ioda-Suter machinery before the team acquired an Aprilia ART for this year.

Fresh from his career best-equalling MotoGP result of 11th at Motorland Aragon over the weekend, Petrucci is delighted to be competing with Pramac Ducati for 2015.

“I am very happy to have reached an agreement with Pramac Racing, a team that has helped to promote the development of young riders,” he said.

“I am also proud and extremely motivated for the chance to ride a Ducati. I will try to give everything to make the most out of this opportunity for which I thank Pramac Racing. I also wanted to thank Giampiero Sacchi for giving me the opportunity to start racing at the highest level in MotoGP.

The ART has been the leading machine in the former CRT category, but has been thoroughly outclassed under the new Open rules. Petrucci's season was also interrupted by a broken wrist at Jerez and he has scored just four points this year.

Petrucci will take over the seat of countryman Andrea Iannone, heading to the Factory Ducati team, and ride alongside Yonny Hernandez. It is not yet confirmed if Petrucci will inherit Iannone's Factory status, or if he will join Hernandez on year-old Desmosedici machines.

It's strange to me that Jack Miller is being pushed to Moto GP. He has been getting swallowed up in Moto 3 races and isn't even the best rider in the championship (since Alex Marquez came into his own).

Is Dorna desperate for an Aussie rider? Will Miller be ruined by this impatience, when a year in Moto 2 could have been better for him?

BarryMachine · Oct 1, 2014

Aussies don't ride little bikes.

We don't even get some of the smaller bikes you guys get O/S.

Aussie riders historically don't fare well in the lower capacities but are more suited to the bigger bikes.

Honda know that.
