Just got his email. Damian will be replacing capirossi at japan this weekend. Should be some good exposure for him, this bloke is quick. (on a superbike anyway)

Get your handkerchiefs ready for a tear-jerker. Reliably informed Loris Capirossi will announce his retirement in Misano later today.

Hmmm. Either Suzuki are hiding the option of a third bike to prevent people from knowing Spies is coming, or Spies is definitely landing elsewhere. I think the latter is more probable but who knows.
