So Stoner retires, Lorenzo out of contract, Spies not doing very well....Marques wants to move up but can't go to a Factory team. Rossi back to Honda to see out his career?

2013 will be interesting....

A real shocker!!
Doesn't look too rosey for the future of Moto GP
Stoner retiring
Rossi in the twilight of his career and seemingly lost his mojo
Simoncelli sadly gone
Pedrosa continues to be a follower rather than a racer
Who's going to challenge Jorge, can Cal step it up a notch? The rest just like decent riders to me, no one really stands out.

The guy has been critisised for having no passion and moaning.
Leaving is the best thing for him and the sport.

Technically very good, but doesn't have his heart in it, why should he stay?

Motogp will still be excellent without casey.

I'm not a Stoner fan at all, in fact he's known as the 'Wingeing Aussie' in our house. I'm just worried that the real stand out riders seem to be dissapearing, for various reasons. We need Rossi back on a decent bike to see if he's still got it IMHO.
