Reports and rumours flying all over the MotoGP and World Superbike paddocks are saying that Ben Spies has finally made his mind up and WILL move to the Monster Yamaha alongside Colin Edwards, therefore putting James Toseland out of a job.

It is believed that Spies signed on the dotted line earlier this week and will make it an all-Texas line-up in Herve Poncharal's team for 2010. The race now will be to see who is in the Yamaha WSB squad, if there is one at all.

Toseland could do a straight swap with Spies and line-up alongside a variety of riders who have been linked with the team, including Cal Crutchlow and Leon Camier, or he may hook up with Jonathan Rea at Ten Kate Honda.

His only option in MotoGP would seem to be Pramac Ducati.

More later.
