Först nu verkar Yamaha gå ut med info om att det är klart med Edwards för 2007:
Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd is pleased to announce that Colin Edwards will continue with the Japanese factory for a third year in 2007, racing in the official Yamaha Factory Team. The 32-year-old American, who has previously won two World Superbike titles and has a best finish of fourth in the MotoGP World Championship with Yamaha, joined the Team in 2005 and has scored points in all but one of his 33 starts for them. Edwards has signed a one-year agreement, which will see him race on Yamaha’s new 800cc bike alongside Valentino Rossi again next season.
Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing Srl, Lin Jarvis, commented, “We are very happy to have retained Colin for another year. Although he hasn’t had the easiest of seasons in 2006, he has given a strong showing in the last few races and has proven he can fight at the top of the MotoGP World Championship. He fits very well into the Yamaha ‘family’ and we’re sure that he will play a key role in the development of the new 800cc Yamaha MotoGP bike alongside Valentino.”
Edwards, who began his international career with Yamaha in the World Superbike series in 1995 before returning to the Factory last year, said “I couldn’t be happier to be staying with Yamaha for another year. It’s no secret that this season we haven’t achieved the results we should have had, but in the last few races I feel that things have started to turn around and we hope to finish on a high in Valencia. I couldn’t ask for a better team-mate or team, I’m really happy at Yamaha and I can’t wait to start working on the new bike!”
“The good partnership between Colin and Valentino is one of the strongest assets of our team,” added Davide Brivio, Team Director of Yamaha’s Factory Team. “We think that, for various different reasons, Colin wasn’t able to show his full potential this year and that’s why we’re very glad to have the chance to work again together next year. We are confident that we can offer him the right package to enable him to stay at the top throughout next season. Working with Colin is a real pleasure and we’re very happy to continue with him for another year.”

De borde försökt fasa in någon yngre. Edwards har sina bästa RR-år bakom sig och iaf. jag tror inte han är vass på att utveckla den nya 800:an. Han verkar vara den förare som är känsligast för en perfekt set-up. Passar han sig inte på söndag riskerar han att bli sämste jänkare i år. Han verkar ha lägre ambitioner nu, var riktigt kaxig och stöddig förr.

Och nu kommer den officiella infon från Tech3:xyx skrev:
The Tech 3 Yamaha Team have chosen Makoto Tamada to join their team for the 2007 MotoGP World Championship season. The 29-year-old Japanese will ride the new 800cc Yamaha and continue the development of Dunlop tyres of which the performance has significantly improved during the 2006 season.
"We are very happy to welcome Makoto Tamada" says Herve Poncharal, Tech 3 Yamaha Dunlop team manager. " He is an excellent rider who has already proved his potential by winning two Grands Prix and being on the podium five times in the MotoGP era. We are sure that he will be able to help Dunlop becoming more competitive - a challenge that has become even more interesting as we will all jointly work with the new Yamaha 800 with the full support of the Yamaha factory."
Makoto Tamada, who made his MotoGP debut in 2003 also looks forward to joining this project: "I am happy to be back on Dunlop tyres again, and have good memories of riding on Dunlop in the Japanese Superbike Championship. I am excited by the challenge that the Tech 3 Yamaha Dunlop project offers. I was able to judge at close quarters the current level of the Yamaha Dunlup package during the Portuguese GP, where Carlos Checa and I raced very close together."
Jag är beredd att hålla med. Edwards känns mer och mer som en hjälpryttare till Rossi.FireSalle skrev:

De har ju enligt ryktena försökt signa Lorenzo men han tackade nej. Jag tror inte Edwards var Yamahas förstaval ur just åldersaspekten men att de inte fick den de ville ha till 2007 utan får bida sin tid lite. Dessutom vet vi ju inte vem som hamnar hos Tech3 som ju vill göra klart med en andra hoj och då satsa på en yngre förmåga, enligt Hervé Poncharal.FireSalle skrev:

Sa de inte i dag att Tech3 kanske bara kommer att köra en hoj nästa år, eller hörde jag fel?Gustav O skrev:

Efter en solid första säsong har RdP utsetts till Kawasakis förstaförare år 2007. Oliver Jacque blir andreförare. Hurra! Kawasaki, bärs och rakade brudar
Skönt att man är van vid att hålla på lag som abbonerar på sistaplatsen 
"The Kawasaki Racing Team will combine youth and experience in their rider line-up for the 2007 season, with former world champion, Olivier Jacque, making his full time return to the MotoGP grid, riding alongside current Kawasaki young gun, and fellow countryman, Randy de Puniet.
The 2007 season will be de Puniet's second with the Kawasaki Racing Team. The 25-year-old Frenchman enjoyed a solid debut year in the MotoGP class with Kawasaki, during which he showed his potential on a number of occasions, whilst also gaining valuable experience with every outing aboard his Ninja ZX-RR.
De Puniet's professional approach to his racing this season, combined with a fierce determination to succeed, was enough to convince Kawasaki Racing Director, Kenichi Furuhashi, that the Frenchman was the right person to lead Kawasaki's assault on the 2007 MotoGP World Championship.
De Puniet is Kawasaki's investment for the future, and by backing up this investment with a seasoned campaigner such as Jacque, Furuhashi-san is confident that the young Frenchman will be able to fully realise his obvious potential next season, as he steps up to fill the team leader's position vacated by Shinya Nakano."

Då får man ingen värdemätare på hur bra Kawan är nästa år då alltså, satsa så mycket pengar på att ha fabriskförare i VM, men inte ha någon riktig förare. Randy tillför inte mycket, möjligen för att han har coola Puma-stövlar. Sponsrad av lecakuletillverkarna? De får en del exponering i media tack vare honom iaf.

De borde ha tagit in Sete.FireSalle skrev:
Det hade varit ett klart mycket bättre alternativ. Kunde de bara sporra honom att hitta tillbaka race-formen så. Kawan duger ju bra att kvala på och det kan Sete fortfarande.sandstream skrev:
Ett år på "looser"-material kan göra gott, pressen förändras. Se på Checa som tog poäng i alla lopp utom ett. Kanske inte så bra resultat, men om andre föraren är värdemätaren på Dunlop-däcken så har Checa hållit världsmästarklass. Hur många andra har plockat 3 ggr så många poäng än sin team-kamrat?
EDIT: Oj, Hoffman och Nakano tydligen - men det är väl i så fall ytterliggare ett tecken på att Kawa INTE satsar när de fortsätter med Randy.
Cool bild Sandstream!
Inte av honom, bara materialet. Honda har ju haft Stoner i år, så de har inte behövt honommoto-gg skrev:

"For sure I'm very happy to have been given this opportunity by Kawasaki. To be honest, after finishing second in Shanghai one year ago, I was expecting the call up last season. But, the circumstances were not right and the decision was made to go with a young head - but now the old head is back! With a new bike to develop for next season experience will be important, and I'm pleased that Kawasaki view me as the person to help develop their new 800cc Ninja ZX-RR. It is good to have the hard work we've done in developing this season's bike into a competitive package recognised with a full-time ride for the factory team. What feels strange for me is that, despite so many years in Grand Prix racing, this will be the first full factory team I have ridden for since winning the 250cc world title in 2000. I'm certainly looking forward to the challenge ahead, and I can't wait to test the new bike for the first time later this month."
