According to AMCN it's a cert.
Dovizioso to go to Repsol Honda. Simoncelli to Pramac if he can't resist the money and wins this years 250's. Possibly Ben Spies to Gresini Honda. Sete Gibernau to Kawasaki with a third bike?

Yeah, because Sete is that desperate to get back into MotoGP that he'd be glad of a ride on a bike that is going to be fighting for last place in every race, once everybody is on Bridgestones. Hopkins is loving it there, after all... not!
He got sick enough of being beaten by Rossi even when he was on halfway competitive machinery - that's why he quit, I think. On the Kawasaki he has a fair chance of being lapped by him.
Marco will no doubt be glad of the Kawasaki, on the grounds that however crap it is, it works better than that D'Antin Ducati ever has for him. Funny how after the D'Antin team being the graveyard of dozens of careers (including Neil Hodgson, amongst others, and now Marco), the moment Luis D'Antin got the boot, and somebody else started running the team, both bikes started running nearer the front...

I think he'll find the D'Antin Ducati (now Alice) ain't working right 'cos he keeps getting on the wrong bike. I keep seeing him on the Ducati Malboro one. You know the one that rides itself with a useless tosser called Stoner strapped on it, according to some/most. Not me I hasten to add.
Slip of the keyboard there Ken?

Maybe Sete has a secret weapon?
It breaks my heart to see Marco at the back every race so I'm hoping the massive weight of Kawasaki heavy industries is getting behind the bike and it will become competitive.
