Yamaha have been testing, at Misano IIRC. They were reportedly working hard. Here's hoping they found something, but I guess we'll see at Silverstone this weekend - if Rossi doesn't say something first. Although Redding's recent 'can't put a shine on a turd' comments probably mean the PR people have been in everybody's ear over the last week.

There was mention overnight that Yamaha have employed a new electronics engineer. Here's hoping that it was his efforts they were testing last weekend and that he's successful. We should get an idea this weekend?

Baz to ride this weekend. http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2018/0...erstone/268739
The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.
Baz is thought to be a good pick. He knows the tyres, the electronics, and he likes the track.
And the weather? https://www.bbc.com/weather/2637827

This is interesting, David Emmett has comments from several riders who stepped in to MotoGP as replacements. Michael Laverty's comment about Baz' size would seem key. Baz is way taller than Espagero and the bike won't be made to fit in a weekend.

Just after his two round Avintia ride, Mike Jones was down here in Tassie competing at a 2hr endurance road race on a 1999 Ducati 996, up against guys on brand new R1's and ZX10's. He wore his Avinita leathers and absolutely smoked them! He said the same stuff to all the questions guys were throwing at him about tyres and learning tracks, etc etc. A really down-to-earth guy!
I think he went from ASBK to those two wildcard rides which scored him a factory Ducati ride in STK1000 alongside WSBK the next year. It can really work out well.
First report I read said that Crutchlow has a new contract to ride for LCR until 2020. That seemed odd and it was. His contract is with HRC and the announcement was made by the president of HRC.
He will still be with the LCR team but is a factory rider.
Oh, and Bautista is to make an announcement about his future at Silverstone.
