He's #3 with points with a possible shot at second It seems like he's been fairly consistent.

I bet Hayden and Sete trade seats, biaggi gets the boot, and Pedrosa gets his seat. Two Spaniards racing for the Spanish sponsor.

nicky stays.

You don't put a full page ad in USA Today about the USGP for a guy you are gonna can at the end of the year. Besides, they'd want an american star on their team somewhere for the return to Laguna for next year.

Sete has been everything but consistent this year... Max has consistently sucked but hasn't crashed, the only reason he's doing well in overall points.

'Good points. So next year, Repsol will be Nicky and Pedrosa. Where does the bitch go? Probably Ducati. It's the only bike he hasn't been on.

Re: Pedrosa To Ride On Factory Honda MotoGP Team In 2006
There was mention of a "youth movement" at HRC in RoadRacingWorld I think. Though Nicky and Pedrosa will probably be on the Respsol team, I think Honda would be wise to give Tamada a little more help.

Melandri is also going to win a race next year...

Biaggi? He's always been one of the smoothest out there, which a lot of people almost fault him for. Maybe with the way the bikes are more hooked up these days with traction control on the horizon, etc. he still has a chance at being at the front?

I would think that Bayliss would be the obvious choice to go, very poor form all year. But then I heard that it will be Chris Vermulen taking his spot.

This is unfortunately the way I see things happening. Troy's the man but I think he's not going to be riding the camel much longer.

What about Barros? I really like the guy's riding but I think he's going to be moved on to pasture.

I see a full change of the Camel team.

Re: Pedrosa To Ride On Factory Honda MotoGP Team In 2006
After the Donnington 250 race why would you give Pedrosa a seat in front of talent like Stoner and West (whom has already proven himself in 500 racing)? 46 seconds behind the main group!

I heard awhile ago that Pedrosa is suppose to be Honda's last and best chance to beat Rossi next year before he calls it quits. While I don't think he has a chance at winning next year as it'll be a learning year I think he'll be good in the future.

Hey I'm a Honda fan also but if they think Pedrosa is going to beat Rossi in his first year on the big bike then they also must be beting on Tampa Bay beating the Red Sox and MFYankees for the AL east title next year.

my guess is he'll finish no higher than 5th in the points.

There's a rumor going around that Vermuellen got Bayliss' Camel ride.

Can anyone confirm?
