I just heard Loris Caparossi is moving to Suzuki next year. Any other changes happening?

Heard who is taking Melandri's old ride? Wonder if Roger Hayden will move over to Moto GP?

Haven't heard what Ant West is up to - he's done pretty well on the Kwaka so far. Any one know?

The cover of Roadracing World is saying "Ben Spies is headed for MotoGP". The article says he is wanting to be in MotoGP for the 2008 season.

They anounced durring the Superbike Race this weekend that Spies would only be looking at some wildcard ops for MotoGP in '08. I guess Suzuki wants to keep him in SBK to keep Mladin motivated.

Re: MotoGP Team changes for 2008 Season
The Tech3 team will not be on Dunlops either next year. Michelin will not want to lose Edwards as a tire tester either.

"Unless the series goes to a spec tire rule with Bridgestones supplying the grid, Edwards will again ride on Michelin tires." from: Soup :: Edwards To Race MotoGP In 2008 :: 09-12-2007

Sylvain Guintoli signed with Pramac d'Antin Team. http://www.crash.net/news_view~cid~6~id~154527.htm
