The team has also confirmed that Elias, who has taken two podiums this season for Alice Ducati, will ride a third 'factory spec' Honda RC212V - presumably a pneumatic-valve machine, as will be used by Repsol riders Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso.
Hopefully '09 goes better for him than '07. It is going to get crowded at the top of the field. Just getting a top five will be an accomplishment. Good for Honda to commit another team to a factory bike other than Repsol.
If Dani leaves after '09 (rumor is either win the title, or else...) I would think Elias or Lorenzo would be logical choices to take his place and retain the spanish sponsor.

Is that the same factory spec Honda that Melandri was promised and never got.
