At the completely ridiculous (probably) end of the rumour mill, Angel Rodriguez (ex-125s, now leading the Spanish CEV Supersport championship) to Alice Ducati next year?
http://www.bikesportnews.com/article...-SEAT_PUZZLE_1
To be fair, that'd be quite nice to see - Angel - through Matt/mx311 - has competed in our very own Fantasy League a couple of years ago, as are a couple of riders this year who did not wish to be named. Especially since one of them's in last position!"Of course, what many people tend to forget is that Glen Richards was 2nd in the 1993 Australian 125cc championship" - Jack Burnicle on BSB at Snetterton, June 2008

LCR Honda will continue in MotoGP in 2009 with Randy de Puniet. de Puniet was on a 2 year contract for 2008-09 and Honda agreed to supply the team with bikes (and I'm guessing if they will run de Puniet, lots of spare parts) for 2009

Pretty sure I read an interview from Spies that said he wouldn't be racing in the U.S. no matter what with the current situation. Dunno what worthy options are left for him in MotoGP or WSB though.

Steve Parrish on BBC said that SPies was all but confirmed as an AMA rider with Yamaha next season with the gurantee of MotoGP after that.
Suzi Perry also said that Elias was a Gresini rider next year and that he never rides for the same team for 2 yearsYou're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Spies has priced himself out of the MotoGP market for now.. Greedy b'stard.. Anywho, Yamaha in 2010 with a few more wildcards next year sounds pretty good IMO..
I opened up all the windows..the air is cold, the tub is boiling hot..It's like Sweden, man. Sweden!

Silly Season!
Correct me if I'm wrong but this is what we have so far for 2009:
Fiat Yamaha:
#46 Rossi (the champ going into '09)
#48 Lorenzo
Marlboro Ducati Corse:
#27 Stoner
#69 Hayden
Repsol Honda:
#2 Pedrosa
#4 Dovisioso (open secret here)
Rizla Suzuki:
#7 Vermeulen
#65 Capirossi
Monster Kawasaki:
#21 Hopkins
#33 Melandri
Honda Gresini:
#24 Toni Elias
-vacant- (but probably #56 Nakano)
Tech 3 Yamaha:
#5 Edwards
#52 Toseland (have they both been confirmed?)
Alice Ducati:
-vacant-
-vacant-
Team Scot:
-vacant-
New team??

Simoncelli, Kallio and Bautista are probably in contention for those last 4-5 vacant seats along with AdA, RdP, Guintoli and West.
