Latest Update on Next Season's MotoGP line up

As this season's MotoGP comes to end where Stoner has alredi took his championship quite sometime ago and Ducati won the constructor's therefore, nothing much to follow but the last race would see whether Stoner can win his 11th race win of the season and make him on the records rank 2nd most win in a season tie with Rossi. The record is being hold by Mick Doohan as he won 12 races in a season which is really impressive.


Therefore, we now look forward to next year and of course the things that can be confirmed so soon is the line-up for next year and we could see some interesting line-up.

So Ducati Malboro seems to be strong as they have Stoner and Marco as their rider while we would like to see Yamaha improves and provide a bike for Rossi and Current 250cc world champion Lorenzo to fight for the title. Repsol could also be fighting for the title esp for Dani as this year he shows that he can be very quick if not due to the tyres and also the bike.
