I thought I'd throw a motogp Lineup change thread in here!

John Hopkins: From Suzuki to Kawasaki.
Loris Capirossi: From Ducati to Suzuki
James Toseland: Honda superbike to Yamaha tech3.

And Pedrosa has not yet renewed his contract with Honda...
 
Where's Vermulen going in 08 again?
 
Where's Vermulen going in 08 again?

I think he'll stay with Suzuki... So the Suzuki lineup will be Vermulen and Capirossi...
 
Melandri and Stoner at Ducati will be a brilliant dual. Each will push each other very hard. Maybe Stoner can do a Doohan and win a few in a row?
 
So far it's...

Rossi: Factory Yamaha
Lorenzo: Factory Yamaha
Edwards: Tech 3 Yamaha
Toseland: Tech 3 Yamaha
Stoner: Factory Ducati
Melandri: Factory Ducati
Vermeulan: Suzuki
Capirossi: Suzuki
Hopkins: Kawasaki

Edit
Hayden: Repsol Honda
Pedrosa: Repsol Honda(hasn't signed contract but he has no where else to go. Kawasaki is the only factory ride left)

Whats happening with Ilmor in 08?
 
so they may not be back in 08?
 
Still waiting for Rossi to switch to 4 wheels...don't think it will ever happen
 
I dont want Rossi in Formula 1. Let him go to rally's instead.
 
Rossi will ride Yamaha next year, and then probably move to Ducati... But he didn't rule out retiring either... If he isn't in jail of course.. :p

Hey! Mah neighbour is on TV (during the Brno warmup)! :D

Ducati said that Premac Ducati will get full factory support for next year..
 
Capirossi also said that the main reason for him leaving Ducati, was that he never got along with the 800cc bike.
 
De punier to LRC Honda!

Hmm intresting.. Since Pedrosa hasn't signed for Honda yet and Pramac Ducati still needs a couple of riders..

With Dovizioso as one of their riders..
