JT News...

Seems JT is off to Moto Gp

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...es/6925959.stm

It says "factory Yamaha" but who's he alongside.. Rossi has I believe stated in the past that he doesnt want to share a garage with Lorenzo and wants to keep working with Edwards, who really hasnt cut the mustard this year IMHO.

So is that JT and Lorenzo in one team with Rossi and Edwards in the other ?

I dug a bit more into that article, he's signed to Tech 3 apparently.. seems that Lorenzo is in a team by himself with two fiat riders ( Rossi + 1 other )

Wrong move I say... He should of held out for a full factory ride, even if it wasn't next year maybe he could get a bike for 2009.

Even the full works Yamaha team are having problems, I mean if Rossi's not happy then something can't be right. He had the option of a Ducati for 2008 but turned that down saying he wanted full factory support, so I'm a little surprised at him jumping to Tech 3 Yamahahahahahaha.

I got the impression that Lorenzo had got Edwards' bike, and Edwards was offered the option of Tech 3 or a full factory WSB position....

Tech 3 will be upgraded from satellite outfit to full factory team next year.

I should read things properly shouldn't I


.

Tamada will be getting the Shepherd's Crook(hook?) from left stage to make way for Toseland. Tamada has underperformed since his days on Camel Honda.

I thought with JT's performances for TenKate that Honda would have provided a bike for him? maybe instead of wasting one with Team KR at least?

I dont see the Tech 3 as the best Toseland will get in Moto GP but the perfect platform for him to display his worth. Good luck to him.

Tech 3 upgraded to full factory team? Cant see that. Fiat Yamaha is the factory team.Anyone else is satelite with varying degrees of factory support as I understand it.

But that report is from the Beeb, not normally known for having their finger on the pulse of all matters Moto GP.

I thought that to, but from what I've been reading Rossi isnt keen to have him in the garage next door, wander why that is NOT.

I'm sorry but even though i am a big JT fan he will do a Hodgson i fear in GP. He is a good rider and very fit(exercise wise) to cut it but not enough to win races. I like him in WSB TBH.

I can't help but feel this is not a great move for JT but I'd love for him to prove me wrong.

I think Fizz posted first, if not he obviously is more populumalar
