So.....
possible moves - Bautista to Honda, Redding to Ducati, Lowes to benefits office, Top hat to Lowe's Yamaha, Camier to BMW.
Obviously Bautista has fucked up beyond measure so the horse's head has been deployed and Redding doesn't seem to fall off every 2 seconds. Wonder what Lowes would do? A bit ironic seeing as he's probably been doing better than his brother who has got another ride. Then again they have both crashed a fair amount really.
Wonder if Haslam will stay put?
Paul Bird is probably on the hunt to fill that Redding gap.

I knew Redding would do well in BSB but he has still impressed me with his speed and attitude. The impression I got when he was in GP's was he didn't take it that seriously. Hopefully a strong WSBK season will be step to another GP seat

There is a part of me that thinks Muir wanted to keep Eugene for this year but had no choice. Got him back into the team at the first opportunity. Because on results for 2019 you would not be picking Eugene for a factory WSB ride. Mind you, Redding was supposed to be taking the 2nd BMW seat up until Bautista took the Honda gig leaving the door open for him at Ducati. Lowes to replace Melandri. Hope Camier gets something sorted soon also.

Is Bautista to Honda done? Read something about him maybe going to KTM instead?

Result for Redding, but what are Honda going to throw at WSB in 2020?....it'll need some serious investment if they want to challenge.

A new bike plus a full factory team. Moriwaki will become a satellite team with factory bikes.

Will this be first serious Honda effort for 18 years?

Lowes to partner Rea at Kawasaki. Haslam to move across to Pucetti.

Lowes to partner Rea at Kawasaki. Haslam to move across to Pucetti. Not convinced that Lowes is any better than Leon TBH, but I only started watching WSB again this year. So is Toprak confirmed at Yam then? I can't believe that Kawa would take Lowes over Toprak, even if they do want to move Haslam out...

Maybe Rea is doing the old team leader thing and doesn't want a hungry Turk on his tail all season. Better to have a guy like Lowes who will think he's starting off as equal but after a few offs he'll be so far off the title he'll fall in line as wingman.
