just talk, but tbh no contracts will be being signed yet by anyone.

I believe Dovi has signed a contract at Ducati. Marquez and Pedrosa have signed at Respol and Rossi extended his contract at Yamaha.

Cal also signed on at Ducati for 2015 now.

Apparently not.

Cal and Ducati have agreed terms and severance for him to leave.

An announcement he is joining LCR Honda is expected shortly.......

Well that was a surprise as it has been well publicised Cal had committed to staying with Ducati in 2015.

Now I m totally confused as the second sentence of the article says "at the end of the 2015 season he won't be a Ducati rider anymore" do they mean 2014 ?

Blade, I have no idea. I simply copied the link from Twitter. I'm sure google can throw up some more info.

Seems he has gone and it appears to have much to do with LCR having a british sponsor next season. I think its make or break for him in 2015.

Iannone has outridden Crutchlow on his satellite bike this year.

Good article Duke and thanks for posting.

I agree he has to prove himself in a factory rcv or surely his motogp career is over. I sincerely hope Cal can deliver in motogp and he gets a fair crack at the whip with competitive machinery at Honda.

According to twitter LCR have officially announced Cal is to join them in 2015.

Can't see the LCR bike beating the full factory repsol rcv's so is Cal any better of than in tech3 on a satellite M1. Best he can hope for is the odd podium at best IMO.

I think he knows is best chance went when Rossi resigned to Yamaha. I didn't think he had an option with Tech 3 for this year.

Still the best place to be racing bikes though i reckon.

MCN up to date this week then...

Its make or brake for him next year

Im currently sat next to my phone waiting for Ducati to call me
