The crazy speculation of just who rides where in 2010 hit full swing at the most recent MotoGP round at Brno. While some loose ends were tied up at the Czech round, some descended into even more manic than previously though!

Undoubtedly, Jorge Lorenzo holds the key to the remaining seats, and whilst his bargaining with HRC is over (current riders Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso have basic agreements with the team for the next two seasons), speculation has mounted that he is now being fiercely courted by Ducati!

MotoGPMatters have reported (sourced from GPOne) that Nicky could be potentially involved in a rider swap with Lorenzo, meaning Ducati would get the Spaniard (who’s alleged to be tempted by a massive salary in the range of 4-8million euros for a two season contract AND undisputed number 1 status) and Fiat Yamaha would get Hayden in exchange. GPOne has reported that Valentino Rossi has already given Hayden the “blessing” should his former team mate wish to rejoin him!

But one must remember that just a few weeks ago, Livio Suppo was quoted as saying that the team were hoping to take up the option on Hayden’s two year contract, with the Kentuckian’s home Grand Prix at Indianapolis looking to be the fitting place to announce the deal.

Yamaha have also given Lorenzo an ultimatum; he must inform everyone of his intentions by next weekend, which means that the Indianapolis GP is going to be one heck of a media frenzy with so many decisions hoping to be finalised.
