Monday, 22 June 2009The news of the Red Bull offered 20 million for the Honda came to Barcelona (Montmelo GP). The house of energy drink that already sponsors personally to Andrea Dovizioso and Dani Pedrosa would take the place of Repsol (the historic sponsor of Honda) on the fairings and consequently on the suits of the HRC Team. Up until this point, the Red Bull would like Andrea Dovizioso alongside none other than Jorge Lorenzo, team-mate of Valentino Rossi in Yamaha. In fact, the Yamah! a is discussing the renewal of the contract with Jorge Lorenzo and the choice of primary for the Majorcan is to be confirmed in Yamaha if there are no problems.
We see that the relationship between Valentino Rossi and the Mallorcan had deteriorated recently, he could take seriously the offer from Honda to himself. Also in Assen, we should already know the future of Marco Simoncelli who will move to MotoGP. The new rules require, however, that a novice can not begin on a factory team and therefore very likely that he will be riding for the Gresini Honda in 2010. Bearing in mind that the market has confirmed that Yamaha will not make more than 4 bikes in 2010 and that is why Aspar Martinez is talking to Ducati and Honda.
