Rumor Mill

From a Spanish GP chat, but one that's been quite accurate in the past:

(1) Barros out of HRC.
(2) Edwards out of his current team.
(3) Gibernau close to signing very lucrative deal with Ducati.
(4) Hayden likely out of Repsol HRC.

If all that would prove to be true, wow, what a mess. Honda would then have
only Biaggi as a top rider next year? Seems to be getting too late for
Biaggi to truly be a world champion now - this year was his chance to prove
what he had, and he's shown what he always does: he wins a race or two,
places regulalrly in the others, and will have 2 or 3 meltdowns when things
aren't right. Not enough to win a title unless things are extremely evenly
contested, which they seem to be unlikely to be for as long as Rossi is
around.
