After Yamaha's shock announcement that they will be pulling out of World Superbikes at the end of this season, their impressive rider pairing became World Superbike's hottest properties. Marco Melandri soon found a seat alongside Leon Haslam at BMW, but the fate of Eugene Laverty was still uncertain. For a while, it looked as if the Irishman could see a return to the MotoGP paddock, Laverty holding extensive talks with the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha team, but in the end, team boss Herve Poncharal elected to sign Andrea Dovizioso, preferring the Italian's proven track record over Laverty's lack of experience with the Bridgestone tires that determine success in MotoGP.
