I don't know why Hayden is always 'streets' ahead of Rossi in practice or qualifying? Maybe he can get more performance out of the tyres on the one lappers or on low fuel settings

European press are talking up Yamaha+Marlboro=Rossi Was thinking on the weekend that Rossi could still end up back at Yamaha, Could be interesting if it turns out true.

Already was saying Rossi will end up back at Yamaha, BUT I really and truly can't see it coming to fruition, but I would love to see my two favourite riders duking it out for supremacy on the Yamaha! If not hopefully Stoner changes his mind and goes to Yamaha, next year or even in the future!

Cant see Lorenzo and Rossi as team-mates again and if Rossi was to go to a satelite Yamaha team it would need to be with full factory support!

Now Dovi is saying if he does not get a factory ride he is considering an option in WSBK.... New Panigale 1199 anyone!
The other big story in Italy is around the TV deal, MotoGP is now on pay per view, whilst WSBK has a big free to air deal. The word is sponsors are now looking more favourably at WSBK and the dollars or lira(now euro) is there for WSBK, which is why Dovi is being lured.
Watch this space!

I'm not surprised the sponsors are flocking to WSBK and trying to do a deal for Dovi to ride over there, the country is flat poor so no-one can afford pay per view!

Hector Barbera set to miss US MotoGP Hector Barbera injured in training accident Pramac Ducati's Hector Barbera looks certain to miss next weekend's US MotoGP at Laguna Seca. According to the team, Barbera “suffered injuries, during a training mishap near his home, in Spain” adding that the injuries included a broken “left fibula and shinbone”. Barbera will undergo surgery on Sunday, at the Insitituto Universitario Dexeus in Barcelona, to be performed by Dr. Xavier Mir. An estimated recovery time is to be issued after surgery and the Pramac Team will then “decide the plans for the foreseeable future”. Barbera, who claimed his first ever MotoGP front-row start at last weekend's Mugello round, is eleventh in the championship with a best race finish of seventh. Fellow satellite Ducati rider Karel Abraham is expected to make his return from injury at Laguna Seca. www.crash.net/motogp/news/182172/1/hector_barbera_set_to_miss_us_motogp.html

He's going back to either AMA with Suzuki, Staying in Moto GP with another team, Going to Suzuki in WSBK, or Staying with Yamaha and going to AMA.

- also it's likely Rossi will replace him unless Dovi does, Cal to Ducati also...soon see what happens.

Cant see him going back to AMA as he's now got a taste for international mororsport action, so he will still want to compete in either motogp or WSBK. Ducati is a possibility if Rossi leaves but are they going to want two US riders on an italian team? Probably not...the other one as you say is Suzuki in WSBK which may be the safer bet...
