Thought Rea already signed his new 2 year deal with Kawasaki. I guess if a team in MotoGP wants him that bad, they will pay to break his contract. I just don't see what team Rea would race for. He's mentioned several times, that he wouldn't make the jump unless there was a factory bike and a competitive bike. Well, that's only a handful of seats at this moment. Ducati or Suzuki. Things just got weirder.
Also, it isn't look good for Lorenzo over at Suzuki nor Ducati. Looks to be leaked that Joan Mir may be going to Suzuki in 2019 and that Ducati have already said, if Lorenzo doesn't produce results. Then it is pointless to keep him for another 2 years.

Yeah I think Lorenzo’s days in MotoGP are likely counted, the kind of money he wants nobody will pay mainly after his disastrous Ducati campaign and in all honesty even if he would have stayed at Yamaha he wouldnt be performing either with all the ongoing issues. He’s shown his true colors and teams are looking for riders that can work through issues these days and what not, Lorenzo only delivers when the going is good but nearly never when he has to go through a disruption of his rhythm or something goes south. If Mir is going to Suzuki indeed then the only option would be Honda but with this Rea bombshell, that could be checkmate for Lorenzo and he’s too proud to settle for satellite level. Petrucci has that Ducati seat on lockdown, we all know is just a matter of a couple of races until they announce it. Lorenzo had every single opportunity to do so and even with Ducati giving him an insane contract and a far better bike that they moved heaven and earth to make it for him which they did, he still can’t figure out 2+2 to save his life, it’s almost like he refuses to try cause he doesn’t want to change his style of riding, ummmm ding dong, many other riders had to do this to stay relevant in this level, if you can’t adjust then that means bye bye.
