Racesport.nl is reporting that Melandri could replace West at Kawasaki after the conclusion of the Shanghai round.. There's also reports of a straight swap between Tamada and West from WSBK to MotoGP ... Be interesting to see how things develop after Shanghai, methinks some **** will go down, sadly for Ant..

Racesport.nl also says that Biaggi could replace Marco... Just imagine how cool that'd be!
But I'm afraid that's just a bit of a dream for meRIP Marco Simoncelli

I'd be astounded if Marco left Ducati for Kawasaki after 4 rounds. The West/Tamada thing I can kinda see but round 4 is so early. Has Tamada tested the bike to know if he would be any faster?

I have 2 theories if this was true. Firstly, perhaps Kawasaki feel that Ant would be quicker than Tamada on the SBK, and Tamada would be quicker than Ant on the GP bike. Secondly, it could be just a motivational ploy to get Ant firing, as he usually comes out swinging when things get tough.

Does Tamada to MotoGP West to SBK has anything to do with the Kawasaki MotoGP engineers being at Assen last weekend? I thought they were there to help PSG-1 sort the bike

tamada/west swap makes sense in the same vein as a marco/west swap: people putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5. such is the internet that i bet kropotkin and racesport.nl are probably quoting each other as sources.
tamada left motogp with a terrible reputation within the paddock as lazy and a quitter--two things you have never heard about west.
furthermore the contracts would have to be renegotiated. they do not race for the same team.
as for ducati--they screwed bayliss, but they put in a tremendous amount of effort to help loris last year. stoner remarked at last season's end, that he and loris's development had gone in such different directions that they couldn't even use the same data on tire tests.mmmmm, makes a nice sandwich. a nice sandwich.
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
