Yamaha wouldnt promise Stoner the same level of bike as Rossi, therefore he told them he didnt want to ride on lesser machinary. A wise move IMHO.

As for JT, well I think hes made a wise move. Look at the previous riders for D'antin they have all done diddly squat due to lack of funds / finance. I remember Neil Hodgson saying that they didnt have enough money to buy tyre warmers that actually worked. Thats no way to go racing.

Another year with Honda in WSB won't do him any harm and if he impresses at Honda he may well get a decent Moto GP seat later on.

I agree Edwards really needs to improve his results or he's WSB bound. Mind you watching him and Bayliss battle it out again would make for good racing.
