i couldnt agree more.....but what makes it more interesting for me is that it will be my two favourite riders racing for the same team, i will finally see the better of the two..............NOW, if i could only get Pablo and D.C on the the same team then it would complete the picture. 8)

Will Sito Pons come back to the main game next year ? Correct me if I am wrong, is he not the most successful team manager in MotoGP ?
