Totally agree with the Bold part, He is riding the most smooth and ride able bike of the season. He is so great with the Yamaha so if he is not a money freak who sells his sole just for the money he will stay with Yamaha, Lorenzo and Yamaha are like Kobe Bryant and the Lakers , They are just born to be with each other (at least at this time).

no way.
i like aoyama but there is just no way that he is going to end up on one of the best bikes when there are so many other good riders available.
bradl to hrc, rea to lcr. new team for marquez and his entourage, gresini to run 2 crts next year. problem solved

Marquez will be on the gresini satalite bike,
Factory supported
Or the LCR satalite, again with the factory support.
Rookie rule complied with and free to go to HRC in 2014.
IMO
I like Bradl too, however Honda might as well hand the title to Yamaha if they don't make a. Serious play for Jorge and Rossi to secure one of the two

agreed,but i just don't see lorenzo leaving yamaha and rossi returning to honda.
its far more likely that they end up as teammates again (which is what i'm hoping for, fantastic championship battle ahead
)
i don't know about gresini and how good their san carlo sponsorship is, but if its secure and pays good i wouldn't want to ditch them for marquez and the spanish banks backing him ( good article on kropos site).also theres the question of what to do with marquez' team, if its financially possible and honda are willing to supply an extra bike (or gresini go full crt just as i expect all satellite do over the coming years) i think that is the best option.
all things considered i think bradl is the favorite for the seat if he keeps performing and makes steady progress. its the easiest option anyways since hes got a 2 year deal at a honda team.
can't see hayden at honda , i think he'll stay at ducati until they leave with him to break wsbk records
IMO it all comes down what yamaha decide to do with spies.if they don't offer him a new contract and he starts to get back to his old form i could even imagine him making the switch to honda. in that scenario he would be the only quality rider that would not have to lose anything because he has to fear marquez taking his seat the following year. it would be a final (and the best possible) chance to prove himself.

dude,no offense but its getting old. its not like he hasn't been exposed to every single member here already
getting a reply from him is as unlikely as finally learning from BM how to back it in

Remember, apparently there is only one seat available at Tech 3 next year.
If Dovi stays at Tech 3 maybe Crutchlow to HRC.
If T3 keep Crutchlow, maybe Dovi gets his old bike back on a 1 year deal.

has smith got a guarantee to step up or is there some performance clause?also, will it be an m1? what happened to the tech3 crt project? i thought guy coulon was supposed to develop a chassis for a r1 engine...foggy memory though
don't want to take anything away from the kid, but the last 2 seasons hardly justify having him over a couple of other riders that come to mind

As far as I am aware Smith signed a 3year deal with tech3. This year in moto2 and 2013/14 with tech3.
As for a get out clause or performance clause, I can't see Herve not having something in place should Bradders not perform.
Both tech3 are satalite yams arn't they? M1s
I agree about Bradders though there are more deserving riders ATM.
He needs to get his finger out and get to the pointy end quick or it may be moto2 next year for him too.
And I like Bradders FWIW.

yes of course but i was thinking maybe its possible they run 1 or 2 m1s and a crt , like gresini do. a good crt would be a logical step for him
i'm not saying he shouldn't get his chance in motogp,not at all! i'm just saying you have to prove yourself if you want one of the precious few prototype bikes. even reigning moto2 champ bradl had big difficulities to secure a ride and in my opinion the moto2 champ should always be able to graduate to a good ride in motogp.
lets say espargaro or lüthi or maybe even simon or iannone win the title this year instead of marquez, does anybody think they'll be able to get a good ride?if that happens and marquez and smith ranked 10th or whatever in the championship get rides it will be ridicolous.
even more than it is already

Ah I misunderstood the first bit but yeah I suppose the could run 3 bikes with one been CRT.
Could give them a small advantage should a time come when the factory efforts walk away (I pray it never does)
Second bit could not agree more
