Canepa and Kallio to Alice-Ducati. Announcement imminent.
Elias to Gresini. Announcement imminent.
GSE to Yamaha and stay in BSB. Confirmed.
HM Plant to stay in BSB. Confirmed.
Looks like Corser will stay at Yamaha-Italia
There's not much left. But still lots of riders chasing places.

Well I didn't see that coming. I wonder why they switched? Are Yamaha
giving them a shed load of money? And where does this leave Ducati in
BSB?

I can't imagine Ducati not having a top team in BSB. Which means the
support probably switches to John Hackett. He's been tuning winning
Ducatis for years. GSE have a bunch of 2009 WSB motors they ordered
before all this so I guess they can always sell them on.
The one who probably gets screwed in all this is Shane Byrne. Perhaps
he'll go to Sterilgarda?

Stranger still. Seems it was a last minute switch to Yamaha then.

Why can't he just stay at GSE? Or is he hankering for WSB?
