    Who they will eyeing up as a replacement....

    Certain grumpy fella who said he didn't want to race bikes anymore but fancies a go at endurance?? maybe to get himself up to speed?

    Shame for Dani if he does have to call it a day.... but unless totally fit, think he is just too fragile which has been his biggest problem throughout his career... certainly quick enough on his day!

    They are all tied up in contracts, my thoughts were like a wildcard extended ride to end of the season type thing...

    but agreed - long term a young fella up and coming would be good.

    Michael Dunlop....he would scare them sh*tless with his bonkers riding
    He probably wouldn't win much, but it would be entertaining viewing watching him try..

    Definitely good to see grumpy bum back mixing it up with Rossi Marc and Lorenzo..shame about pedrosa but like it's already been mentioned he's always been a fragile soul..shame he waited until the start of the season to announce his problems, cal would have been a great bet for a Honda factory ride..

    I know, but imagine the pouty lip on, say, Lorenzo, when MD squeezes past, through a gap that isn't really there, giving him an elbow for good measure...

    He was never going to stay away........an opportunity to see if he can beat the current front runners.............and Marquez !
    Miserable bugger at times but a great bike racer.........
