2017 MotoGP Silly Season

[Chaos]

Vinales to Yamaha confirmed

http://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/vinales-moves-to-yamaha-for-2017-motogp-season-736574/


At this point, barring something incredible, Marquez and Pedrosa will re-up at Honda. That leaves two seats at Suzuki, one at Ducati, one at KTM and one at Aprilia for factory seats.

With Dani re-signing with Honda, rumor has it AI29 goes to Suzuki and Dovi signs back with Ducati.

SKY Sports reporting Iannone to Suzuki

 

[Neil_V]

Had to feel Ducati was less likely to keep an aggressive guy like Iannone to partner Lorenzo. If true it's not surprising he's making a preemptive move. So where does this leave Zarco with his ambitions of riding a Suzuki next year?

 

[lator-illa]

Either he becomes only a test rider, or Aleix gets the boot.

 

[boarder360]

Theres been talk about LCR switching to Suzuki for next season. So Zarco, could land a seat there as a satellite rider.

I think the "Spanish Sources" were Pedrosas friends giving false info to force the hand of Honda to sign him ASAP, Or Yamaha trying to scare Vinales into making his damn decision... whichever it was it worked.

I feel like we're about to see Maniac Joe in all his crazy glory. The Ducati battle will be a good one for the rest of the season

Good for Dovi. He's a solid team choice.

I feel like we're about to see Maniac Joe in all his crazy glory.

Oh yea, if he signs with Suzuki, no more taking it easy to not crash with the other Ducati
