    After 20 years with Yamaha they must have received a very tempting offer to move,KTM maybe:)..i see that Zarco who is on the 2016 Yamaha Tech 3 bike again this year, has embarressed Rossi and Vinalles in the recent testing and they are both on Factory bikes,i wonder if Zarco will move with Tech 3 in 2019

    Zarco to Yamaha in 2019 Dougie,,,,, I think if he carries on from last year he will.

    It was banded about last year that when rossi retires Zarco will become a Yamaha full factory rider.

    If Yamaha don’t want him and he still wants to ride a Yamaha in MotoGP he could always borrow my 1978 RD250 ‘D’ :cool::)

    There are rumours that Rossi is bringing the VR46 team to MotoGP in 2019, he's certainly in prime position to negotiate an engine deal with Yamaha.

    I've also read that Tech 3 may be taking KTM engines! Hmmm, seems a bit far fetched to me but you never know.

    MM wont move from the flying H, unless he went to Ducati and thats unlikely.
    I think if KTM get Tech 3 and I think it is a done deal. they get double the amount of data and practise to sort the bikes out quicker.
    Again I think the Rossi deal is virtually done too

    Rossi has said this week that he will "Probably" race for the next 2 years and will talk about plans for his team when he stops..but not in 2019 or 2020...

    It'll be the VR46 team, not necessarily with Rossi managing the team.
