*Rookie

With Ben getting a one-up on every other rookie by participating in Valencia as a wild-card entry with Factory Yamaha M1 test bikes. Rumored that Jordan will sponsor Ben for this ride, maybe a preview of Tech 3's 2010 livery and sponsorship, as it will be Team Texas, an all-american team would be ideal for Jordan to sponsor.

And there's a few rumors of other teams...

FB Corse - Alex de Angelis
Announced intentions to race in MotoGP next year, there were talks of Valencia but making it to Qatar in April might be a bit of a challenge. Bike will be based off a three-cylinder motor BMW was going to use before scraping their MotoGP project for the S1000RR and WSBK. FB Corse will make their own frame. de Angelis is looking like the best fit, all just a rumor.

Team Scot - Gabor Talmaci
Look's likely to stay with the team due to his sponsorship cash.

That's it for now. Add any rumors you've read about as well, I'd like to keep this thread interesting.

Jordon has wanted to get into GP for a long time.

Ben Spies will make a wild card appearance for Yamaha in the final round of 2009 at Valencia ahead of his permanent move into MotoGP next year.

Following the announcement on Thursday that Ben Spies will move to MotoGP in 2010, Yamaha Motor Company now announces that it will enter the Texan as a wild card into the season-ending Valencia race.

25-year-old Spies will participate as a single rider entry of a Yamaha Factory Racing Team, using YZR-M1 test bikes brought over from Japan. The Valencia MotoGP round takes place 6-8th November, two weeks after the final World Superbike round in Portugal.

The wild card entry will provide an opportunity for Spies to get extra circuit time prior to his inclusion in the Tech 3 Yamaha Team for the two-day MotoGP test on the Tuesday and Wednesday after the Grand Prix.

Yamaha Factory Racing Team Press Release

Factory backed wild card ride.
I think He will be better backed than many think.
Ben will learn quite a bit from this one ride.
And so will everyone else

I think it would be cool of Jordan would get into MotoGP, the name Jordan brings so much more exposure and more sponsorships to racing but I doubt Jordan would be sponsoring Spies. Jordan is backed by Suzuki now, doubt they would be happy with Jordan backing Yami? Just a thought...

Espargaro confirmed with Pramac. Updated list up top.

motogp.com said he would not be flying either tech3 or fiat colors, but rather just factory blue. im guessing sterilgarda will have a logo or two on there as well as a few of his other sponsors...but i doubt there will be other, unrelated to motogp, sponsors on the bike.
