    Default Cal Crutchlow moving up to Tech3 Yamaha MotoGP for 2011

    Tech 3: Cal Crutchlow is the favourite! | Page 1 | MotoGP News | Aug 2010 | Crash.Net

    Monster Yamaha Tech 3 boss Herve Poncharal has revealed that Cal Crutchlow is "the favourite" to replace Ben Spies, should the Texan be moved to the factory Yamaha team in place of Valentino Rossi for 2011.
    So, if Rossi defects to Ducati, Spies will move to Fiat Yamaha and Cal will move up to Tech3 - hopefully leaving Colin and Jorge with their respective MotoGP rides (assuming Colin doesn't make the jump back to WSBK).

    If Rossi re-signs with Yamaha, however unlikely, then Cal takes Colin's place and teams with Spies for 2011 - hopefully with Colin swapping rides with Cal and moving to Yamaha WSBK.

    ^ For that reason alone, I hope that Rossi does move to Ducati. Spies needs to get on factory equipment, with a quickness, to show the world what he can do.

    And Colin needs to go back to WSBK, so he can finish his career on a not-so-depressing note.

    I read that first part without looking to see who posted it and thought, "I bet Cephas wrote this..." - yup

    Never thought I would say it, but I hope Rossi leaves.

    I want to see spies on a factory Yamaha.


    I would prefer that Jorge leaves and Spies takes his place

    I agree that I'd rather see Jorge leave... But it would be amazing to see what Vale can do with that Duc, the bike has gotten better and its nice to see that more people than just Stoner can ride it now.

    I would like to see Elias come back to GP. Would love to see Elias, Vermulen and Melandri all in GP together again. Those were some of my favorite riders back in the day.

    wonder if simoncelli is on a one year contract. he is a good rider. the idea of throwing him on the rider friendly M1 might allow him to bring out his skill again.

    You think it would help him quit throwing the Honda in the dirt?
