Not surprising at all, since Casey Stoner gave his decision to retire for 2013 and Dorna change the Rookie rule we all already knew that the new rule be prepared for the rider with number 93 from Moto2. And for Dani Pedrosa, although he doesn't get his World Champion title yet since he joining on this team from 2006 but his performance was good with this team, he has been runner up twice on his debut on MotoGP. The one thing delay him to be World Champion was about a bit missed of luck due the injury or something made him not be able to ride a 100%. But surely this renew contract will make him more confident to ride his bike on this season and reach the dream to be World Champion in 2012. The lucky one of course Marc Marquez, we all knew he is really fast on every race he did on 125 cc and Moto2.

We all like to watch him on Moto2 race that always interesting and lot of people said he will be the next Valentino Rossi. And it must be great opportunity for him to be able to ride on class of the Kings but maybe will be difficult for him to adapt with the bike which obviously different with his bike right now. But all thing can be learned so no need to worry about.
That's mean only three seats left for Factory bike. The two seats empty in Ducati Team and one left in Yamaha Team. Still big question who will be team mate for Jorge Lorenzo in next two years, could be Ben Spies, Andrea Dovizioso, Cal Crutchlow if he doesn't sign offer from Ducati or maybe Valentino Rossi, even we know he looks like will stay to continue developing Ducati bike after positive meeting with Audi and positive progress of the bike in Sachsenring. And we still waiting who will be the next riders for Ducati Team, the same one with this year are Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden or will be changed ?
We never know until they announce it and anything could be possible, when Valentino Rossi hasn't taken any decision for next two year the market of riders in MotoGP still be big topic all people will wait, because he's the magnet on this Championship.
