In the light of this article ~

Well I'll bet my bottom dolla that Casey is going to HRC and I dont think Ducati's payroll man (Phillip Morris) can afford Jorge anymore.

If Vale goes RED he will need to take JB with him and just like Yamaha, they will have to give the whole running of the team down to them. Ducati will not want to do this. They are control freaks.

RdP should get Dani's ride, Dovi should stay still, Casey will get Marco #58 bikes as he not pulling the digits.

If Vale does go, Ben will get the Fiat and Cal will move to T3.

Just my 2 pennys worth.

Hi Sue, this rumour has been doing the rounds for quite a while now.
here is another good article
http://www.motomatters.com/news/2010/06/24/rossi_s_dilemma_15_million_euros_at_duca.html
Personally - I do believe he will go, and be on the Ducati next season.
It all seemed to be put in place when Supo left for HRC, the rumours then were that it was to make way for Rossi and his crew. I also think the agreement was that whoever won between him and Lorenzo would keep there seat and Ben would get the other. seemed strange at the time that Lorenzo would get a 1 year contract. they never offered Rossi a 1 year deal. all their contracts are up at the end of this year, except Ben who has another year. (with Yamaha not tech3).

Yes I do think he will be on a Ducati, whether its a Marlboro Red machine or some other sponsor I dont know. As Wiggysan has pointed out in a earlier question. Rossi has said he wont work with Tobacco sponsors. But he also said he would feel like a traitor going to Ducati

there is no smoke without fire. and 16 million might be quite a fire.
the question is what is Jerry Burgess doing ?
I doubt Rossi will be doing anything without Jerry.
If we know where Jerry is going to be next season we will know where Rossi is going to be too.
