Nicky Hayden has apparently been told that he will not be offered an extension of his factory Ducati contract but he can move to their WSB squad if he wishes (although why would he want to that bike is a nail as well!). Just hope Cal isn't tempted...
Laguna Seca this weekend. lets see how many of the walking wounded turn up... (Iannone definitely out).
It's going live from the next race (I think!), I wonder if there is anyway we can view this online?
If not any chance my ISP can sort me out a fake Kiwi IP address?!!!
If Redding wins the title, what do you think the chances are of any news report mentioning it?
Minimal sadly, if he does manage to win one of the toughest and hardest fought categories in international motorsport most of the UK media won't bother reporting it as most people probably won't care. However if some tennis player manages to get into the last 64 in a current tournament we never seem to hear the last of it!
I think he's nailed on for a GP next year, it's just how they do it. I don't think the team mind losing him as a rider if he gets a decent ride in GP. They are talking about moving up to GP themselves if they can't find a good enough ride for him. Not a bad team to be in really!
Absolutely not, if Marc VDS get their hands on a half decent MotoGP machine then he may well be best to stay within that camp (the Honda customer bike may be an option for them?). Still think he could do a better job than either of the current satellite Honda riders, I just hope he doesn't get lured to Ducati...
Get out of jail free?
Sam Lowes had what looked like a puncture (tyre was going down anyway) and was sat up cruising to almost certain retirement when the red flag was thrown for an oil spill. He was then permitted to participate in the restarted race.
Snetterton should be good, have fun! :)
Lorenzo is something else...,
That Exactly. Seeing him collapse over the bike as soon as he got over the line gave you an idea of how hard that must have been. Did you see he was wheeled in to his garage at the end as well?
A footballer would have needed an emergency trip to the hairdressers and the rest of the season off!
And probably a pay rise, to account for the 'danger' in their job...
Scott Redding was brilliant again...
Yep, he's riding really well at the moment. Pol seems to have go over his 'panic' of the last few races so we should see some nice battles going on. If Redding wins the title, what do you think the chances are of any news report mentioning it?

WSB was great, Tom Sykes is on a mission at the moment, he's clearly not intending on finishing second again this year
He did completely out class everyone - I'm surprised Guiliano even managed to finish race one with how hard he was trying to keep up! - not the most exciting races to watch, but a great result for him.
Sam Lowes did a sterling job in damage limitation mode even if he did use his 'get out of jail free' card!
Get out of jail free? I ran out of space on the sky box and had to watch the WSS in a bit of a hurry, so I saw Lowes come from way back to pass his team mate on the last corner, but missed a lot before that. Would be good to have british WSS and WSB champions this year wouldn't it!
Off to Snet for the BSB this weekend. Last year my head ended up looking like a roasted tomato, I'm hoping for similar weather (and good racing too - but that's almost guaranteed with BSB isn't it!)
Lorenzo is something else, just shows how committed he is to keeping his title. A footballer would have needed an emergency trip to the hairdressers and the rest of the season off!
Scott Redding was brilliant again, apparently he has been knocking on the doors of all the MotoGP team bosses of late, not sure what else he has to do to get a chance. LCR/Gresini must surely be considering him?, I just hope he stays away from the Ducati (which yet again was useless this weekend).

Dammit, I meant to reply to this ages ago - I thought I had.
I think Suzuki are waiting for more rider contracts to expire so they get more choice, oh, and so that they can develop the bike further too.
In other news, Lorenzo broke his collar bone today, hope he's not in your team!
There's a few really good riders in theory who would be available Crutchlow, Redding, Iannone, Aleix Espargaro for example, I'm sure they could have got a couple of them on single year deals if they wanted to. Be interested to see who they're waiting for?
Yeah, did read about Lorenzo, oh well if Pedrosa doesn't win the title this year he's never going to!
