    Spies can't due to the rookie rule.

    Toseland not, as there is a WSBK weekend when the MotoGP is in Assen at the end of the month. Edwards isn't so fast as last year so I doubt he will replace Rossi.

    I hope it isnt Edwards, this man has flattered to deceive for too long now, qualifying well and then being 30 seonds behind in the races, needs to move on.

    Maybe they will leave it and put a test rider on? Does it really matter!!

    Edwards is happy at Tech3 and knows he's not the future, I doubt he would take the ride. I don't really understand the Edwards hate, he finished 5th last year, the highest possible position he could finish. What more can be asked of him?
    Any fast riders around in crap, about to go bust teams? That'd be the best bet for Fiat Yamaha I reckon.

    Of course it matters - taking points off Honda and their riders will help Jorge. Having someone finishing 8th won't.

    Personal thought would be that the 'rookie' rule will find its way to being bent (due to the slightly thin grid numbers) and Spies stepping up, with a test rider - or Yuki Takahashi - coming onto the Tech 3 bike.

    Whoever gets it will find it tough going to take any points off the Hondas, mind.
