Tech 3 to split with Yamaha at the end of this year....

[Turn7]

Huge news just released,no more Yamaha for Herve .....

Nothing about future plans yet.

Hmm, he was talking about the VR46 entry as a big threat as there could only be one Yamaha satellite team.

Looks like KTM, unbelievably.

[Chipchap]

There are options in the paddock. Currently the following manufacturers have no satellite teams :-

• KTM

• Suzuki

• Aprilia

So perhaps not having Yamaha may even become a good move for Tech 3 in the long run as he may get bikes for a much lower sum or Dorna help out to retain a team like Tech 3 in the paddock.

According to the MCN post on facebook, it's Tech 3 that have split with Yamaha as they have a better deal with another manufacturer.

Paves the way for 'the' announcement later this season when a certain rider will tell all about his new deal that takes him into retirement

As a fan of Yamaha and Tech 3, it's a sad thing they have split. But as others have said, Herve is no fool. He'll have a good plan.

Will need a new Tech 3 fleece now...

Interesting, looks like it paves the way for the Zarco / KTM link too.
