Valencia Motogp

The Yamaha looks so much easier to ride through the long fast bends.

Rumours are that Alex Marquez will be joining his brother at Repsol Honda and Zarco to Avinita Ducati.

I don't think he's good enough to jump straight in as number 2 at Honda.

He's signed to defend his moto2 title that won't be cheap to extricate himself from should Honda come calling .

Alex Marquez to Repsol Honda.

Miller to factory Ducati.

Zarco to Pramac.

Petrux to either Avintia or no ride at all..

Dull dull dull.

Zarco was unlucky being hit by a bike when he'd come off but generally dull.

I wouldn't bother.

They need to start giving Marquez handicaps, he is leaps ahead of any other rider.

Bit dull but hey ho.

I've been saying for ages that Lorenzo should retired and Alex Marquez should join his brother.

As for contracts, Estrella Galicia sponsor both teams and I'm sure they have a bit of clout. VDS is also quite close with HRC and I don't imagine it will be difficult for HRC to strike a deal that Marc VDS would be happy with: pay replacement rider wages, pay for AM's release.. something along these lines.

I don't think Zarco should be on the HRC next year and I'm 99% sure Cal won't do it either
