Your home for speculation, rumor, wild ass guesses and the occasional fact or genuine insight.

Some starters:

Preziosi replaced at Ducaudi Corse.

Shakey Byrne turns down backmarker MotoGP ride for chance at 4th BSB title. Shakey's twitter feed is a good read for these few posts from yesterday.

Here is my useless contribution . I`d say Pedrosa will win in 2013 . Honda has fixed the bike , and Lorenzo and Rossi will pull enough points from each other to make it happened.

The one that could stop Pedrosa winning is his team mate taking him out.

Two biggest stories going into 2013: Rossi & Marquez.

They are both under immence pressure to turn in results early on. Gonna be interesting to see how each of them responds...

Ben Spies will finish higher in the points on a satellite Duc team than he did this year on a factory Yam team.

He and Lorenzo had the same number of unforced crashes this year.

I think the battle among the 4 Ducatis has the potential to be a great one if they are all on equal machinery.  
Yet another class in what is currently multi-class racing of MotoGP.

Except that the battle for 5th, 6th, and 7th won't be televised because the cameras will be on the frontrunners.  So we will never know if there was a battle or not.  Not quite like the battle between the CRTs, but you get the idea.

You did read the subject line. Right? You are no better a predictor of what will happen next year than the rest of us. Quit pissing in everyone else's cereal.

Uh yeah, sorry, I forgot.  Embarassment

Lesse then. I predict that at the last minute, Troy Bayliss will come out of retirement, and win the championship for Ducati.  Bigok

There, is that better?  Bigsmile
