I hope it isn't the end for Biaggi. He's been my favourite rider since I first became interested in motogp, back when he was in 250's. If he does have a year out, I can't see him getting back in....which would be a great shame. Nice work by Honda to steal a march on Yamaha by getting hold of Stoner now, while he was been linked with Yamaha. Good coup, but you have to wonder if they can find Stoner a seat, why not Vermulen? They've been grooming him for a couple of years then let him go!?! Insane. Elias has been looking impressive in testing, just 1.2 seconds off Hayden on his first outing. Fortuna could have a great shot to push Rossi and Repsol next year with melandri's form.
