and that's the end of his run for the championship. No coming back now. With him no longer in the running, i can't see him pushing at the remaining races either, apart from maybe Phillip Island, for one last time in front of his home fans.
 
Possible surprise announcement from Cal Crutchlow soon according to his twitter message............

People say the Ducati is going to be behind the Tech 3 Yamaha's next season but as both Tech 3 riders seem desperate to leave, I would say they have been told the tech 3 bikes will not be as close to the factory bikes spec next year as they have been this season.

what message on twitter? , i follow him and havent seen anything, cant think what the surprise would be as there is only really the tech3 ride left or a move back to world superbike and i really cant see him doing that as even there the best bikes are gone.

there only close to the full works bike this year because of the new 1000cc rules, next year it will be back to the year behind as in the 800cc
so no real chance of winning. even this year the tech3 are still running the electronics off the 800cc yam , Yamaha haven't given them the latest kit, so they had an edge even this year.

the tech3 bike will still be better than the ducati im sure of that

With Stoner out this could be Pedrosa's best chance of a title, I'm not expecting the races to be that entertaining though but if one of them DNF's it could make things a bit more exciting!
 
Cal was having a good Barney about motogp so either he's got a substantial pay rise or Yamaha have promised some upgrades to the satellite Yamaha throughout next year. I also suspect Yamaha told Tech 3 one of our choice (Cal) and one of yours (Bradley).
