Did not see this one coming

 

Not surprised as seeing Bastianni going to KTM as that has been on the cards for a while, Vinales however is something of a surprise.

 

Mav, 1st rider to win on 4 different manufacturers is now possible!

 

Bez off to Aprilia......

 

This is a much needed boost for Yamaha development!

 

So where is Aldeguer going now? His manager said he has been promised a factory bike.

 

Would guess that Gresini or VR46 would get factory bikes now.

 

Looks like Digi is staying at VR46 and Alex Marquez staying at Gresini, so there's a space at either team.

Interestingly, there is talk that It could be VR46 that switch to Yamaha instead Pramac as its not a done deal yet?? because of Rossi' link to the brand which throws another twist in there!!

Very interesting times !!

 

Saying that, the Pramac Yamaha switch is now a done deal !

 

VR46 tipped to get the factory bikes and will Franco will go there? its like a cross between chess and musical chairs ATM!

 

Aleix confirmed as HRC test rider
