He's been offer a factory bike in the satellite team.

I did say months back that he should be replaced with Quat but I NEVER saw it actually happening!!

Wow.. what a move for Quat!!

I think he will retire - the offer is there to acknowledge his contribution and he is still a very very fast rider.

My guess is he will do one year in the Sky Yamaha satellite team to increase their exposure before calling it a day.

I think that would be a terrible way to end his career ,I would rather see him as a technical director and bring on some new talent

He'll run a satellite Yamaha team under the sky VR46 banner , possibly ride for that team for another year , Dorna have stated that they would make grid slots available to a team run by him even if they have to increase the numbers on the grid .

Why on a good bike in a well supported team he would clean up and get a tenth world title.

Just look what Bautista and Redding are doing in superbike and Rossi can run rings round them two every day of the week.
