 Stoner to Ducati
This was commented on earlier in the week on the board, so lets see if the Beeb has it's facts correct.
Australian Casey Stoner looks set to leave the LCR Honda team to join the Ducati MotoGP factory squad in 2007.
The 21-year-old, currently seventh in the rider standings, moved up to MotoGP at the start of the year and has claimed one podium finish.
Stoner is expected to be replaced at LCR Honda by Spaniard Carlos Checa.
Meanwhile, Spaniard Sete Gibernau will soon find out the extent of the injuries he suffered when crashing out of Sunday's race in Portugal.
The Ducati Marlboro rider broke his right hand and aggravated an earlier collarbone injury when he was taken out by Stoner.
A decision has yet to be made as to whether he can ride in the final race of the season in Valencia on 29 October. |
