Spies can not move to the factory team in '10. Dorna implemented the "rookie rule".

Basically any rider who does not ride in 9 races the previous season is classified as a rookie. Rookies have to sign with satellite teams. He could sign on with Tech 3.

Silly season looks like this right now.
Simoncelli=Gresini Honda
Bautista=Somewhere with Suzuki

I posted in the bike forum already but this would be a shocker.

The newest rumor is Lorenzo is set to sign with Ducati for two years. He will be the second highest paid motorcycle rider on the planet behind Rossi.

If this is true I will do backflips.

Yep I would assume he is on his way to Tech 3 Yamaha. He should go to WSBK.

I would love nothing more than see Nicky progress on the Ducati and make a comeback. It's definately gonna be hard to do with the huge level of competition in GP though.
