If Spies goes to Tech 3 it could be bye-bye to Toseland as I can't see them dumping Edwards.

I'd expect that anyway to be honest, he doesn't seem to be kicking on enough this year.

That's one option. The other is whether Edwards decides to call it a day.

By all accounts, he's costing Tech 3 more than they initally wanted to be paying out anyway and the question is whether Edwards actually feels motivated enough to continue.

He's a good rider no question but he's pretty much resigned to the fact that he isn't going to be challenging at the top. He could well just decide to call it a day.

You're determined to make this into some sort of nationalist thing, aren't you?

Everyone else is discussing MotoGP as a sport.

You're aware that there hasn't been a winner on a satellite bike since Elias in Portugal, October 2006, aren't you?

The sport is massively weighted in favour of factory riders at present. For the likes of Toseland and even riders like Colin Edwards (who is a better rider than Moaner IMO), it's a thankless task.

Certainly does.
