    Re: Dovizioso stays with Ducati

    There's been about 20 websites that "confirmed" that Viņales signed but well as we all know until it hits MotoGP.com it may be nothing but bullshit At this time anything is open in that end until the press conference Thursday which is when they'll supposedly make it official but we'll see. Iannone at this point is out of options if indeed Suzuki aims for Rins as its being said (speculation too). Only other "factory seat" open will be KTM and we'll they're nowhere near as competitive and he's shown to have the pace and rhythm. All of this just came at a very unlucky time for him unfortunately, not sure what satellite teams will pick him up or if he'll even accept any offers from any other teams other than Suzuki if Viņales did end up that seat at Yamaha.

    Yeah, just like the 20 websites that were calling it for Pedrosa at Yamaha. I think we'll wait til the fat lady sings on this one. Lorenzo's move to Ducati was all but confirmed and there wasn't a ton of speculation with that move. I mean even Davide Brivio let it slip at one of the interviews Dylan Gray does during Free Practice. I think everyone knew Lorenzo was destined to leave Yamaha, so it was a given.

    It is a bummer for Iannone at the moment, his actions haven't helped him this season. I think if he doesn't land a Suzuki ride, he'd not ride for a satellite team. He's proven he's fast enough for podiums with a good bike under him. He won't get a sniff of the podium on a satellite bike and I think he knows this...
