    Nicky Hayden has been told his contract won't be renewed next year, leaving a factory seat available, we know they want crutchlow but surely he won't go to that dog of a bike!! And where next for Hayden??

    He will if they offer him enough money, he's pretty much paying for his ride with Tech3 and even Moto GP stars need to earn a decent living.

    Hayden's going to WSB I recon, checas leaving. I think crutchlow will go to Ducati, and we can only hope they sort the bike out. 2million a year and I would be tempted

    I can't do it, blade, if that's where you're taking this. Sorry.

    The gossip is that Cal could go to Honda :)
    As for Mr Hayden.. WSBK is most likely his next step, as for the Ducati seat .... Pol Espargaro ??

    Or even Scott Redding if he continues his charge in Moto2 and pulls off the championship crown !!
    Maybe the Ducati needs someone who has never ridden another MotoGP bike before and had no preconceived idea how things feel on, say, a Honda or Yamaha.
    Fresh ideas and all that !!
