WSB: Elias tipped for Yamaha squad

D'Antin Ducati star likely to make WSB switch for 2009

MOTOGP STAR Toni Elias, the man with the best riding style of all time, is being widely-tipped to replace Troy Corser in the Yamaha WSB squad next year.

Our spies now say that MotoGP star Toni Elias is to step onto the Yamaha R1 in 2009.

Apparently a deal has been agreed taking the Spaniard away from MotoGP to join Noriyuki Haga on the all-new R1 next season. The next-generation R1 is, according to Randy Mamola, getting smaller for next year and will take technology directly used on Valentino Rossi's M1 racebike.

Elias on that bike? We can't wait to see that. Move over Haga, new nutter coming through.
