I read somewhere (think MCN) that Forward Racings Yamaha is going to be last years satellite Yamaha Crutchlow rode.
I read a rumour somewhere that it won't be a full moto, but it also won't be just the motor either. In any event, they will need to run spec ECU software which would have an effect.

Nope. Spec Dorna software and Forward has to supply basically everything aside from the frame & engine. It "shouldn't" be competitive with the satellite Yamahas, at least not at first.

The more Stoner gets interviewed, the more I think he has a genuine mental condition.

I've always been a fan but you're right. He's delusional. With Marquez on the scene nobody gives a **** if he comes back especially with that kind of arrogance.
I'll still root for him to be 2nd if he comes back though...
His changes will represent a lot of crashes and people getting hurt, mostly the people really pushing it (Marquez, Lorenzo, crutchlow etc) and yes it will make for an interest and fun beginning of the season, but by half the season the top contenders are going to be the Ducattis because everyone else will be hurt.

Looks like Rossi's getting his 'retirement' eggs in order.... First branching out his apparel line to other riders and now a team. Also read somewhere that he is thinking of making a school out of his moto-ranch to train/teach as well. I know he said if he can he would to stay in MotoGP until at least 2016.

More Stoner rambling:

I guess he forgets that Cal was replaced and had no choice but to leave Tech 3.

Pretty sure it was 100% up to Cal.
Rambling? How about maybe the media seek him out because he's famous, he answers questions to be polite, then the public gets outraged that he has an opinion. He even said what everyone's been saying; good for Cal's pocketbook, not so good for his career. Wow, the sheer audacity of Casey!

Nope. Pol did get a seat at Tech 3 but Cal was offered a 3rd bike with the team and refused it.

Hayden's going to Aspar team and riding the Aprilia... Eugene Laverty is moving to the Aspar team from WSBK.

That really lays out where everyone is going.
I'm hoping Alex Lowes doesn't go to PBM. He is too quick to be riding around the bottom quarter of the field. He'd be better in WSBK or WSS like his brother.
