    Yeah, I was having a think about it during the race yesterday who will likely take his seat. I would say Cal but if he keeps up his start to the season then he'll probably be 1st in line for Ben Spies' seat. None of the Honda Gresini Satellite riders are good enough to fill that seat IMO and I cannot see anyone coming from Moto2 straight into a factory team.

    Gordy Factory Honda Team have some sort of stipulation in their contracts or whatever that they will "NOT" let any rider outside of the GP class itself ride their machine that means Marques wont get it. The rider has to have done at least one season in the big boys GP class to even stand a chance of even being considered for Caseys seat.
