'Looks set to join' not, Has joined. Personally, I hope he signs for 1 more year at Ducati, especially with Furusawa possibly going to the Big Red. MCN - More Crap News. Anything to sell issues.
Yes its not the best paper but i cant remember them publishing a front page story that turned out to be wrong. they probably have though personally i think even the gresini ride would be better than the factory ducati. a certain no.58 showed just how good that bike can be
If you read the article it actually says that Lorenzo has said that he has been told by Yamaha to prepare himself for rossi's return. I think it's still a little up in the air. Crutchlow is also waiting for Rossi's decision before he knows what's happening.
And so is dovi and also bautista. rossi will not be very poular in the paddock at the moment making everybody wait
in the world of racing machinery the driver/rider/top person market always depends one or sometimes two moves. Nothing will be certain until Rossi makes his move
I think even if he stays another year it will do him (by him i mean his racing credentials) any good, the only guy who has mastered that bloody bike is Stoner, and they treated him badly so he bugged off..... idiots.
Wouldn't it be nice if for his last ride of the season Stoner took the Ducati out just to show how it should be done (dream race with Bayliss as team mate).
So Spies gone to make way for Rossi? Glad Hayden was re signed. But I wouldn't be to keen to move from Yamaha to Ducati is I was Carl ? I don't care if $$$$ is heaps better. Could be a career changer and not for the better. I would like to see him on a factory Yamaha. Make another team for Rossi.
Cal has to ride the yamaha for 10 years to make the same money he can make at ducati in 1 , anyone with half a brain would sign with Ducati its proven to be fast if you up for the job
Stoner left Ducati because of the " front end", Rossi will leave because of it etc. and Carl shouldn't sign a contract with them. Maybe in a couple of years when Audi has sorted out the problems like they did with Lamborghini.....
Stoner must be kicking himself - going to miss out on the chance for a fair fight with VR - would have been great to finally put the debate to rest. ps - please dont start a VR CS one now - its boring lol
Rossi transformed the M1 from a pigdog it was before he joined the team into the sweet handling thing it is today. Without ROSSI, Jorge (and everyone else on M1s) would be riding a good for nothing pigdog
that would be cool to see... i'd love him to win one more Championship then go to wsb to bash fairings with his head held high... shame old Max will be gone by then, that would be awesome!
