Extremely unlikely of course since carlos is the obvious #1 pick for the returning ducati team and is rumored to get hands on with the short stroke 1200 soon...
Kicking Haslam to the curb in short order, eh? Can't fault them if they try to pursue Checa, he's riding confident and smart this year, but I can't say I think all BMW's problems are rider-related.

BMW needs a rider that gives detailed development feedback and engineers that will listen to them. I'm not sure they have either piece of that puzzle now?
