If Dovi and Rossi are out and Marquez is not allowed, to me that really narrows the field down a bit as to who Repsol Honda might want to take. If my memory serves me right, Dani Pedrosa is out of contract at the end of this season and should be a straight shoe in for a renewal. I can see Ben Spies having problems with a contract at the end of this year, the bikes does not seem to suit him and I guess he will go back to Superbikes. With the best will in the World I cant see HRC going after Cal - he is not yet a proven winner. I see him going in with Lorenzo for 2013. There probably lies the truth of the decision - who is arround, other than Rossi, who is a proven race winner and eligable? |
