According to Nick Harris and Gavin Emmit, it's a done deal....Stoner to Honda has already been signed too.

Should be an interesting season next year....

Fix their shit and put at LEAST 2 additional bikes on the grid....it's getting to the point of embarrassment....a 15 rider grid....of which realistically, 10 are absolute cannon fodder with virtually NO chance to win the race....or to be anywhere NEAR the podium at the finish.

Having said that, Suzuki is going backwards this year...not forwards. Their bike is complete crap. It has an uncompetitive motor...the chasis sucks balls on anything other than a hot day...the bike doesn't turn and suffers from a fatal lack of grip. Loris Capirossi was said to have thrown down on Paul Denning after the last race....essentially delivering a "give me a competitive bike of fuck it" ultimatum after he and Bautista finished only ahead of a test rider filling in for an injured rider.

Moto GP is going downhill fast. It's gotten to the point where I don't really care to watch, just check the results. I rather watch Moto2 or World Supersport. The factory duc being complete shit and Spies moving on to Moto GP really hurt World SBK for me.

Moto2 is REALLY stealing the show this year...I get up and watch all 3 races live on MotoGP.com each race week-end...I have a high res season pass and it kicks ASS.

I LOVE LOVE the spec machine racing in Moto2....they have some REAL slug fests that are a blast to watch.
