Als je motor nog heel is en niet is afgeslagen mag je je weg vervolgen. Verder geen strafpunten.

Dani Pedrosa has ended speculation over a move to Yamaha by signing a new two-year extension with Honda.

The Spaniard had been linked with a switch to the Movistar team as Valentino Rossi's team-mate but on Monday, Honda squashed the rumours, announcing Pedrosa would remain part of the Repsol squad until 2018 at least.

News of the deal leaves the door open for Maverick Vinales to join Rossi at Yamaha.

"I'm very happy to be able to announce my renewal with the Repsol Honda Team," said Pedrosa, who will reach a milestone of 250 Grand Prix races this weekend at Mugello.

"I'm very grateful to Honda for the trust they've shown in renewing with me for an additional two years. I think it's best for me to continue with the company I was with at my very first race.

"I'm happy that the negotiations have been quick, and now I can just focus on racing," added the 30-year-old.

"I want to give 100 per-cent this weekend at the Italian GP."

Shuhei Nakamoto, HRC Executive Vice President, said he valued Pedrosa's loyalty to the corporation.

"We're very pleased to renew our contract with Dani, and we really appreciate his loyalty to Honda and HRC," he said

"We've been working together for many years, but we always see in Dani the same passion and dedication. His experience is very important for helping our technicians to develop our bike, and we'll do our best to help him to demonstrate all his talent!"

Pedrosa has been a Honda rider for his entire career, beginning with his 2001 Grand Prix debut in the then 125cc class.

A 125cc and double 250cc World Champion, Pedrosa entered MotoGP with the Repsol Honda Team in 2006 and has finished title runner-up on three occasions (2007, 2010, 2012) and third an additional three times (2008, 2009, 2013).

He has achieved more podium finishes for the Honda factory than any other rider, with a total of 142, including 51 victories, just three fewer than Mick Doohan's Honda record.

Pedrosa heads to this weekend's Italian Grand Prix in fourth position in the championship.

Ducati has chosen Andrea Dovizioso to remain at its factory MotoGP team next season, alongside new signing Jorge Lorenzo.

Once news that reigning world champion Lorenzo would leave Yamaha for Ducati became official, the Italian manufacturer made clear its preference was to retain either Dovizioso or Andrea Iannone.

“It's never easy to take a decision like this one, especially when you have two great riders like the two Andreas in your team," admitted Ducati Corse general manager Gigi Dall'Igna. “We are very happy that Dovizioso has agreed to stay with us for the next two years, and together with him we can continue the successful work we began four years ago in order to reach the ambitious aims we have set for ourselves.

“We are sorry for Andrea Iannone, who at the end of the season will no longer be a part of the team. Andrea has carried out an important job in these years and has made a significant contribution to the development of the Ducati Desmosedici GP. For this reason we would like to thank him and we will provide him with our maximum commitment in the next rounds of the championship, in order to obtain the prestigious results that are for sure within his reach.”

The younger Iannone initially seemed most likely to stay, having finished fifth and top Desmosedici in last year's standings and with expectations of further progress during his second year at the factory team.

However there has been little to separate Dovizioso and Iannone in the five races so far this season, each taking one podium and failing to finish three other events

The critical difference is that Iannone has fallen due to his own mistakes, most notably wiping himself and Dovizioso from a double podium at the final turns in Argentina. Dovi's bad luck continued when he was torpedoed by Dani Pedrosa's bike in Austin, then suffered a technical failure at Jerez before an accident at Le Mans.

The similarity in speed, Iannone's errors, plus Lorenzo's likely preference for Dovizioso are likely to have swung the decision in the #4's favour.

“I am very satisfied to have reached this agreement with Ducati and to be able to continue the adventure begun back with them in 2013," Dovizioso said of his new two-year deal.

"In the last few years we have worked with a lot of commitment and we have succeeded in taking the Desmosedici GP to an excellent competitive level, and so I am convinced that soon we will obtain the satisfaction that we deserve.”

Iannone and Dovizioso are currently tenth and eleventh respectively in the world championship. Iannone's most likely 2017 options include a move to Suzuki, with Maverick Vinales set to confirm a switch to Yamaha in the coming days.

“Obviously I am sorry that my time with Ducati will draw to a close at the end of this season, but I am grateful to the Bologna manufacturer for the opportunity it has given me in the last few years," Iannone said.

"I made my MotoGP debut with Ducati and I have grown up with them, always succeeding in improving my level of performance. In the remaining races I will give my all, as I always do, because I am convinced that thanks to the competitiveness of the Desmosedici GP we can achieve some great results.”

Ducati is the first MotoGP factory team to confirm its 2017 rider line-up. Yamaha and Honda have so far officially announced Rossi and Pedrosa respectively, Suzuki is yet to announce any riders. KTM has one seat free alongside Bradley Smith while Aprilia needs a team-mate for Sam Lowes.
