All officially announced yesterday:
Capirossi to Pramac Ducati
Toseland to BMW Italia
Sykes to stay with Kawasaki (confirmed their running 3 works bikes)
Bradley Smith is apparently in serious talks with Tech 3 as he attempts to grab a competitive ride in Moto 2 for next year.Makes sense to me,like Redding last year he also looks to have outgrown a 125.

Regarding Scott Redding I read a very interesting interview with him at the start of the season where he said he didn't feel 100% ready to progess to Moto2 but he was simply getting too tall to stay on a 125.Compare him to someone like Marquez and there must be about a foot difference,that guy just tucks himself up behind the fairing and is like a missile down the straights.My mate reckons they must inject young Spanish riders with height restricting hormones and make them sleep in 4 ft 9'' beds to stop them growing !.I don't know if you saw Redding's ride at SIlverstone this year but was amazing.He started nowhere,got a crap start and then just stormed through the field to finish a very respectable 4th (just a couple of seconds behind the winner).He was something like 13th when he came passed us on the opening lap and then just went on a mission.The crowd was going mental during the race but rumours that me and my mate were screaming like a couple of 10 year old girls at a Justin Bieber concert are totally untrue !.My point is in that situation at his home GP he didn't get rattled and throw the bike down the road,he stayed calm,worked out what he needed to do and just got on with it.Very impressive for a lad who lets not forget is only 17.I reckon he has a very bright future in MotoGP.

GP was a bit dull (prepared to the last couple anyway),Stoner was in a total league of his own.Enjoyed the Rossi/Hayden scrap though,that was good racing.
Awesome ride by Scott Redding to finish 2nd in the Moto 2 race.I rate the lad,he's really good.Great to see him bouncing back so strongly after the events of Misano as well.
Was a bit disappointed with the GP too, was expecting more from Lorenzo after his fighting talk recently, but I guess it's not his fault that no one behind him could catch him!
Stoner was awesome, some of the shots of the desmo sliding round corners were brilliant - I like to think that's how I look when I corner too!
Redding had a great ride too, really enjoyed it! Bit harsh that it was De Angelis who had him in qualifying, and in the race. I didn't know he was the youngest rider in the series either.
I think unless Bradley Smith gets a break in Moto 2 next year Redding is going to have the brighter future
Rossi has been cleared by Yamaha to test for Ducati after the final race at Valencia.
I think I'm looking forward to this more than the last two races!
I read your post about Biaggi as he had resigned (as in quit), not that he had signed for another two years! There was a bit of talk that he would bow out as champion, but it's great that he hasn't.

Rossi has been cleared by Yamaha to test for Ducati after the final race at Valencia.Fantastic news and very sporting of them,but have to say I would have said it would have been very harsh to stop him after everything he has done for them.Ducati are taking 2 bikes to the test,1 with the ''big bang'' engine and 1 with the ''screamer'',to see which The Doctor prefers.Although not officially confirmed it is being reported that his crew led by Jeremy Burgess are all following him to Ducati.

Pedrosa's withdrawn from Australian GP,not entirely surprising TBH.
Just read that Pedrosa has flown out to Australia with the intention of racing on Sunday.He's a tough little fella,isn't he ?.Says he will do everything he can to make sure he secures runner up spot in the championship.

I think Ducati has the italian government helping with their budget next year, and Rossi isn't going to want to lose on a new bike, afterall he won first year on a honda, and first year on the yam so he'll be expecting to do the same this time.

Italian ''Government'' help ?,that sounds ominous.Be interesting to see if Lin Jarvis or Livio Suppo wake up next to a horses head next year ! :)
I don't think they really are, I just think the italians are going to stop at nothing to make sure Rossi wins on the Ducati next year - even if it does include Horse heads!
