That's great news. Expect a couple of podiums now he's back on Bridgies.
I guess that means Elias will be following fellow Gresini rider Melandri to Ducati.Get off my lawn

Yep, funny how Stoner has turned the Duc into 'the ride of choice'

I do wish him well, we know he's good despite this year being a disaster. Mind you, I'm not a great fan of the JiR squad in recent years - they're struggling. Strange that Alex de Angelis has got the Gresini seat and Dovi's gonna be on the JiR bike, actually.
-------------------
The other day I wrote out the lineup for 2008 and was trying to estimate the order (I put Biaggi in this Gresini seat at the time). Really don't have a clue what the form-book is going to look like at this stage..."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

I think JiR will be largely obsolete next year, they will be largely taken over by Team Scot Honda.. They seem to get the most out of Dovi's 250

also I wonder about HRC's involvement in the gressini lineup
Biaggi or Nakano
a rider HRC hates or a Japanese rider that will keep Honda's domestic market happy
In any case good luck to him, back on stones lets see what he can doI got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time...

well, dorna needs a Japanese rider with 4 Japanese manufactures isn't it?
next to that, what a difference for Gresini, Melandri and Elias or De Angelis and Nakano.. Hope for him it takes out good, but I fear the worst!RIP Marco Simoncelli

I am so happy for Shinya I think he has struggled with the Michelins, and it will be great to see what he can do now he is back on the stones. I think we will see a podium or two in the near future.

Only solution is more teams. Everything else is a temporary bandage that won't change anything in the long run.
