Default moto gp season

Don't know if many of you follow it but man this has been one crazy year. There hasn't been as many changes in one year in a very very long time. Some of the changes being. Loris caparossi leaving ducatti to race for suzuki. John hopkins leaving suzki for kawi. Randy de puniet leaving kawi for lcr honda. colin edwards leaving fiat yammy. Marco malandri leaving honda to go for ducatti. There are more changeslater as more contracts are up and riders seem to be jumping ship to other teams.I can't think of any year that has had more changes then this year. Next year when all the riders are with their new teams is going to be very intresting.

I thought Edwards said he was going to stay one more year w/ Fiat since Rossi asked him to stay & help develop? Hopper leaving for Kawi is going to kick *** & De Puniet leaving is going to be good for him as well. I'm curious to know who'll be in the line up. Will Ant stay? What about Roger Lee? It's good stuff.

Hayden moving up to mgp would be awesome, he'll have alot to learn from those guys. I heard some rumorsabout Spies moving up as well.

Yeah, I know Edwards is going to Tech3, but this is his last season in GP, then it's off to AMA's is what I meant.

hayden is stuck with honda for one more year. He signed a 2 year contract after he won last year. So after next year I am sure he will jump ship. What sucks is ducatti offered him casey stoners spot put he stayed with honda and stoner got it.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any stranger comes this bit of info
http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2007/Aug/0708271.htm
I just can't see pedrosa on a kawi. I don't much care for him as a person but he is a good rider.
