Major Reshuffle In Factory Ducati Team MotoGP

There has been loads of news and rumors regarding rider status in MotoGP this year. With most of the top riders sealing the deal and not making any major changes. Among the top riders only Jorge Lorenzo and Cal Crutchlow's future plans were not clear.

Ducati had earlier in the week confirmed that they will be continuing with their current rider lineup. However, now there is a twist in this story as the rider from Isle of Man has decided, he will not adorn the Italian manufacturer's outfit next season.

Cal Crutchlow has been struggling with the Factory Ducati, which has not been suiting him. He had a one year contract with the manufacturer and now has decided to leave the team. He will continue racing for CWM-LCR Honda satellite bike.

Andrea Dovizioso will be the lead rider for Factory Ducati team. Pramac Satellite Ducati rider Andrea Iannone, has had a great year and is fighting hard and is being promoted to a factory ride. That leaves place in the satellite team and we are unsure who will fill the spot as the Italian manufacturer plans to have six riders next season on grid.

Stefan Bradl, who is the current rider for LCR Honda has not been signed yet for the next season. Team CEO, Lucio Cecchinello, has made his intentions clear of having a two rider line up for next season, however, they have not confirmed their status.

Cal Crutchlow began his MotoGP career with Yamaha Tech3, he came from the world of Super Stock Championship as a winner. He then switched his ride to Ducati, which has not suited his riding style. We hope he is more successful on the Honda satellite machinery.
