Melandri thus looks on course to retain factory MotoGP status by riding alongside John Hopkins at Kawasaki in 2009, at the expense of Antony West.

Kawasaki, the only MotoGP manufacturer yet to win a race since the switch to four-stroke machinery in 2002, has long stated its determination to field two 'proven' front-running riders.

Repsol Honda's Nicky Hayden remains hotly tipped to take Melandri's place alongside Casey Stoner at Ducati Marlboro next season.
