Can't see it. He'll be wearing red next year. Sure HRC have a lot of riders on the books, but there's not a single one they wouldn't dump for Despres.

Not sure how much Zanol's going to be rushing to get back onto a bike after that nasty pre-Dakar crash either.

Don't think Yamaha are sufficiently interested to pay what it would cost. Honda are.
