Most of this has been answered previously in this very thread.
DePuniet has signed with LCR.
Only chance of thrid Kwak appears to be if Nakano brings Konica Minolta money. Seems unlikely.
Dovizioso has signed with Honda, likely his 250 team will merge with JiR team.
I think Nakkers will go to Gresini and Elias to D'Antin and perhaps Barros to KR.

An article of complete speculation on the 2008 BSB field, some may be of interest:

EDIT: the whole BSB rumour mill has been turned upside down after GSE revealed that they've pulled out as of today (October 14th). So everything's completely up in the air.

Whether GSE will come to WSB is also highly uncertain.

Can someone gimme a quick summary of who is going where next season. We were sitting discussing the AUS race and we could not remember who is teamed with Rossi on the factory Yamaha team. Edwards is going to Tech 3, right?

Hi there edlalu, you will find a list of teams and most riders on page 13 of the rumor mill thread. Hope that helps you.

Yes that helps. There is no way I wanted to sift through all that just to find that entry.

THX!

Once we get to New Year time and a few more things are confirmed, we'll start up the MotoGP 2008, WSB 2008, etc threads. For now aside from MotoGP everything's a bit sketchy

According to MCN and crash.net Team GSE have withdrawn from the BSB series and have no plans to go racing in WSBK.. A real shame for a very professional outfit.. To cut a long story short, it comes down to a disagreement between GSE and Ducati concerning piston use, trivial really..

This will kick the BSB and even the WSBK silly season into gear, big time..

Actually I think the disagreement is between BSB & GSE/Ducati regarding oversized pistons.

Well done BSB, don't let any manufacturer dictate terms.

The problem is that Ducati asked to use racing pistons but didnt say why they need to use them.
If they could show it was for safety BSB would allow it

KR and Ilmor to team up in 2008? Sorta makes sense and stranger things have happened..
