    I read with interest that Repsol Honda may be a possibility for a Mr Cal Crutchlow as Yamaha can't or don't want to offer him a decent contract and factory bike...
    Well that would be a turn up for the books and certainly a poke in the eye for Yamaha if he does actually cross over..
    Of course it's all speculation with Suzuki returning to MotoGP in 2015 and Ducati also touting for Cal's services, would Honda be putting 3 factory bikes on the grid or is a current rider on a slippery slope, (that I doubt).
    If it does work out to be correct though I think it would be the best option for him ..... plus there is a minor stonechip on the nosecone of my bike that a "35" would nicely cover :D:D

    Hope he doesn't go to Ducati , would make money for sure but a GP career killer. Hope he goes on a Honda obviously but I read the article and its hard to believe the way he is being treated by Yamaha. Sure Rossi was brilliant now they want to keep him possibly beyond his 2 year contract. I know the world is in recession but that stinks.
