No factory bike at Tech 3 for Cal Crutchlow

Yamaha won’t offer Cal Crutchlow full factory support if he remains with its satellite Tech 3 squad in 2013. The British rider has told Tech 3 boss Herve Poncharal that the perfect scenario for his future would be to remain with the French-based satellite squad, but receive a full factory spec YZR-M1. For that to happen though would necessitate a major shift...

Rossi to Honda

    Do I think Honda would have Rossi back,Yes.Rossi is worth a lot in sponsorship & is a legend.Honda have a very big gap to fill with out Casey & Rossi could fill it.I think it is more likely that he would go to Honda because of Lorenzo.Remember he gave Yamaha an ultimatum,its him or me & Yamaha chose Jorge.Do you really thing he will want to be Jorges team mate based on that infomation,especially as Jorge would be the number 1 rider this time around.

    He may well chose to stay with Ducati but if he is going to move then know is the time,a perfect opertunity to get the number 1 Honda seat.I think he would be a fool not to go to Honda if he gets the opertunity,its the only way he will get an opertunity to win another Moto GP championship.

P.S. Just out of interest who do you think Honda will have in theyre factory team next year ?

My Prediction

    Im going to go out on a limb here & say that I think Honda will have Rossi & Dani as theyre factory line up.Im sure Honda will go for Rossi & Dani hasnt lost his factory ride so far so I se no reason why Honda would get rid of him now.Rossi would be number 1 with Dani as his wing man.

I would like to think....

If there is a God then it would be Rossi and Cal! I don't think Danielle deserves the factory ride! But I think Rossi and Bradl would be more likely...

Bradl

    Yes Bradl would be a good choice,young talented & hungry for sucess.Im not sure if Honda would go for him instead of Dani though.Bradl would be a very good investment for the future for Honda.Dani seems to be well entrenched in the Honda Repsol team & I think it will take a lot for Honda to remove him.

    Dani is a very good rider who is just missing that little some thing.People say about the Alien status & that Dani is in this elite club but Ive hear a lot of talk about there only being 2 at present & we are going to be down to just 1 next year.If Dani wants this status then hes going to have to dig deep & start digging soon.

Dani

Dani was good, no doubting that, when coming up thro the ranks but......... WTF happened to him when he got to MotoGP?? With Repsol Honda, at the time, you got three years.... Learning year, challenging year, winning year.... If it took you that long! How longs he been there? 6-7-years? Sorry, its time to step aside little man and let one of the big boys come and take your seat!


As you may tell, I am not a huge Dani fan, a source of many 'discussions' in our house (The Mrs adores him lol).. But fan or not, theres no denying he ain't never gonna be MotoGP World Champion and THAT is what Honda are in it for!

Man, that Spanish influence (money) must be good stuff..:tongue:

Yup

They should keep Cal... He is very unlikely, sadly, to get the factory ride so Tech3 should keep him and,well, maybe, buy him some go faster bits for xmas!!:blink:
