Lorenzo & Miller to swap seats?

[Zarco]

Strong rumours Lorenzo may get Millers seat at Pramac next year. He's obviously had enough of the Honda already!

Shame for Miller. If it does happen he could end up at HRC though - not sure if that will be blessing or a curse!

I honestly can't see Miller not having a GP ride next season.Top bloke IMO

I doubt he'd get a HRC seat either.

We'll just have to wait and see, and so will Miller by the sounds of things

Seems a strange move...but good luck to both, hasn't there been talk of 46 calling it a day? That could bring some interesting rider changes.

You'd think Yamaha would be trying to enable zarco to get back on a Yamaha somehow.

If Rossi goes who's the obvious replacement ?

Yeah saw that about VR, but most of it was before the last race. He did ok at Brno, so maybe his confidence will make a return.

Got to happen at some point though, I'm betting at end of '20 season personally.

Him and zarco should be a strong young team , plus the wage bill will be a hell of a lot cheaper.

I've just read in a mag that Zarco could be heading to WSB next year.

MM has to switch teams at some point..

I genuinely hope so, for the sake of the the sport.

I don't want to raise another MM debate, but I honestly am not too bothered about watching it anymore unless things change. My Eurosport subscription costs £20 a year, and only have BT sport for the MotoGP.

Really, why would he !

Still has titles to win, records to break and this season is not done yet. If the Honda is not the best bike out there and we know it's not, then the other teams and riders need to improve if you want to see closer racing and a different rider on the top step.

Fabio will move into Rossi's seat when he retires (possibly the end of 2020).

Alex Marquez to take Fabio's seat at Petronas is the current rumour (2020).

Can't see Miller moving to HRC, but if the $$ is enough and a factory ride..

MM93 won't move until he's exceeded Rossi's titles, once he's got 10/11 under his belt he'll move to challenge for the GOAT.

All of that makes perfect sense....but they have to entertain and none of those moves are entertaining, when Rossi goes they'll need something big, and the biggest thing will be MM to Yamaha.

I can see Lorenzo going to Ducati, it makes sense from Ducati's side.
Ducati had the fastest bike last year and Dovi couldn't beat MM.
The bike is good enough this year to win the championship but MM is walking it.
Dovi is a great guy and a very good rider but isn't capable of beating MM over the season unfortunately.

[egor110]

Mental thought of the day -

Is marquez good enough to win gp and wsbk titles in the same season ?

I guess he'd have to miss a couple of rounds due to clashes but could he romp away and still do the double ?

No idea, does MM do the 8hr?

I don't think any major players in MotoGP do. Makes sense as it's obviously a superbike race.

It definitely makes sense for Lorenzo and Ducati. Only problem for Ducati is they don't have enough seats to keep Miller as well.

Bad deal for Miller as think is on the best package for him already.
