According to sources close to Italian Marco Melandri, he is in possession of a letter from Kawasaki Motorsports President Yoshio Kawamura informing him of Kawasaki's decision to pull out MotoGP effective immediately.

Melandri spent a hard season with the Ducati MotoGP team in 2008 and his salvation was that he was allowed out of his contract in order to join the Kawasaki team.

Presumably American John Hopkins will also be informed that Kawasaki has pulled the plug on their MotoGP team.
