The rumour mill grinds them out.

Latest rumour on Slight has it that he will be replaced by 500 GP Honda racer Tadayuki Okada on the Castrol Honda squad. He will join Colin Edwards, the newly-crowned World Superbike Champion, on the factory RC51 (VTR1000SP-1 in Europe). Other rumours have it that he may be considering going four wheel racing.

Okada was riding for Repsol Honda, and based on the team performance, it seems a strange move to put him up to replace Slight, although he does have some experiance with 4 strokes.

I guess it is wait and see.
