MOTOGP MISANO: GOSSIP, RUMOUR AND INTRIGUE

(Very) wild speculation has it that James Toseland's MotoGP career could be thrown a lifeline my none other than the BBC. It is thought that a clause in their contract with Dorna states they will only broadcast MotoGP live if there is a British rider in the blue riband class. Hello, is that Pramac Ducati...


There could be some rule fiddling over the winter months to allow a former World Superbike team to enter the MotoGP series next year. FB Corse have designed an in-line three cylinder bike which pushes out about 200bhp. But is has a semi-automatic gearbox which isn't allowed. But it's another bike on the grid, Carmelo.


1993 World 500cc Champion Kevin Schwantz has denied a link with a MotoGP project using Eskil Suter's big-power V4 engine. The team, which is GiL Motorsport better known for producing Kawasaki World Supersport bikes, aid that Schwantz has agreed to manage them.

Alex De Angelis, who is a 'dumbass' according to Colin Edwards, won't have done his chances of switching to Yamaha or Ducati in 2010 any good whatsoever by nerfing the Texas Tornado and Nicky Hayden off, and nearly getting a smack for his trouble off the Kentuckian.


Valentino Rossi has said that he could make a switch to Ducati in 2011 as he is a bit dis-chuffed with Jorge Lorenzo being given the same kit as he has. The Artist Formerly Known As Donkey reckons it isn't on at all and may take his ball home.


Ducati boss Claudio Domenicali took great pains to point out that Casey Stoner will, in fact, be back with the team at Estoril in October and they are 'missing him'. Ahhh, bless.
