Camel took their ball (of millions of dollars) and went home earlier in December, and now w/o any other cash cows wandering up to graze, they are out for 06. Carlos Checa and Casey Stoner are rideless. Story Here: http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=24774

Damn, I really wanted to see Stoner on that RCV. That guy has a lot of potential. Checa is no slouch either. Any rumors on another team picking them up?

So that's Carlos Checa, Casey Stoner and Max Biaggi without a ride. Dam that sucks.

Yeah, I bet Stoner has to be kind of pissed that he made the switch now. Maybe its not too late for them to find something else.

Yeah stoner was my "great white hope"

thanks for the post POD. There is no way these guys wont find a ride. if anything WSB would take them im sure.

True but who knows what craziness happens when you already have signed contracts. There could be some crazy stipulation that even though they aren't racing this year that they can't race elsewhere... Will be interesting to see what happens either way.

Actually, It looks like Casey Stoner jumped ship just as they were sinking. According to this, Stoner will be riding in the MotoGP class with his former 250 GP team, LCR, which has moved up this year.
