MotoGP: Who's gonna end up where? Predictions

[racing_fan]

Stoner retiring could cause a mega shake-up of the grid... I heard that all bar one of the riders don't have a contract for next year, and none of the top guys do...

Spies has had it... I could see he was over reaching for a whole lap before he crashed....Yamaha might need to fill 2 vacancies next year (if Lorenzo moves to Honda..and he will if he does not win the championship this year)... thats assuming if Ben manages to hang on to his seat till the end of the year...

What Id like to see next year:

Honda: Rossi and Pedrosa
Yamaha: Lorenzo and Crutchlow
Tech3: Dovi and Bradley Smith
Ducati: Hayden and whoever wins Moto2


What I think will happen:

Honda: Pedrosa and Bradl (if they can't get Lorenzo)
Yamaha: Lorenzo and Crutchlow
Tech3: Dovi and Smith
Ducati: Rossi and Hayden

I'm more interested in World Superbike.

Ducati? Now that VW owns them they may be out of racing after this season.

 

[Kazza]

Nah, they are in next year

I reckon YourGay will be in Repsol colours next year.

Unless Yamaha gets a big sponsor (now in its 2nd season with no title sponsorship), can see Honda & Repsol simply out bidding Yamaha.

I hate to say it, Spies is gone. Right now he will be lucky to see Valencia. Unless he goes on a crazy winning streak & wins 1/3rd of the remaining Gp's, only way he will be in Gp is on a CRT bike.

Well, this isn't going to happen now...

Jorge Lorenzo signs new Yamaha MotoGP contract | MotoGP News | Jun 2012 | Crash.Net

What's the bet, the rookie rule will be abolished and Marquez will take Stoners ride.

Hopefully Honda give LCR some more factory backing for Bradl too.

:rockon:

I reckon now that Whoregay has re-signed with Yamaha that means that Bradl is a certainty to take Casey's seat & Marquez will settle in at LCR :thumbup:

Spies will lose his seat (rightfully so) to Cal & RdP will step away from the CRT bike & find a cushy little seat on a Tech 3 Yamaha :rockon:

Which is one of the big reasons why Stoner retired. If they do that, and sort out some of their other stupid rules, Casey might come back :cheer::cheer:

 

[Humperdinkel]

Tech3: crutchlow and smith

Are you serious ? Smith is in danger of losing his ride as it is let alone getting a motogp seat :rof:

 

[Kazza]

Smith next year - GONE

let me just check ....................
yes im serious lol
smith is changing class to moto gp from moto 2 next season
so either the tech trois team or a crt bike
but he will be there
I wish laverty was there too, so i could cheer him on

Always liked Ben "Elbows" Spies. Sad to see his performance drop so in MotoGP. Kevin Schwantz was coaching him but don't know if that is still true.

i dont know much about spies except for what i seen in bond films lol
but seriously i dont know
well with ducati bought by audi and trying to develop their bike to suit rossi
they will be looking to save some money on contracts, so thats why i said spies,
because when riders win world championships i.e. nicky hayden
they tend to look for more money and conditions.
in my opinion ducati need casey back and maybe capirossi too

so smith ended up at tech 3, who would have guessed?
