You are getting old. We all joined in the thread, remember. I don't know Giv'. I was cheering George and Mini-Me on as they hunted him down more than most people, but his bike was running well and his tyres seemed no worse than theirs. We know he will ride them to the rims if he has to. If the problem wasn't with him I can't see any reason that they reeled him in so fast.

Interesting article here MOTOGP: Noyes' Notebook - He Said, Red Said As a Rossi fan I'm sad to say I think he'll never win another title in MotoGP. He won't even win a race until he moves teams. He has burnt his bridges with Honda, I'm not sure Honda would even allow him to ride for a satellite team. He won't go back to Fiat Yamaha with Lorenzo still in place so Tech 3 / runs his own team sound like the only plausable options.
With Tech 3 already having signed Bradley Smith for next year and having two strong riders to chose from this year, why would they sign Rossi who is regularly getting beaten by his team mate who is apparently riding the 'older modifications' of what have been on Rossi's bike. (except for his past 'legend' status and all the sponsorship money he'd bring). I think he'll end up running his own team but I'm not sure with what manufacturer.
How you work that out dude?? He left and smoked em, they won't hold that against him... Think you forget we are talking about one of the most ruthless corporations on the planet, if it suits them on an image and financial basis, they will snap him up and forget the rest... Pedrosa + Spanish repsol = No titles but ££££££
True, but by the same argument they can still win titles without paying Rossiesque fees. A shaved monkey living on Vegemite and Fosters could win them championships on that bike. Oh...wait a minute.....
Arthur said this a while back. dump pedrosa as he has had every chance but has won nothing. wouldnt rossi's pay check be worth it too have stoner and rossi both on repsol hondas. the interest generated would pay them back ten fold
Supposing honda signed JL too. All tha rest might as well go home. Lol. Stoner and rossi @honda.......hmmmm....... That would defo be gloves off.
Do you honestly see any team turning rossi away if he came knocking. He might have lost his mojo slightly but he is still the fans no.1 and thats what makes money
Dunno Fez, they can be funny fcukers them honda peeps. But at the same time, depending how this season goes, motogp needs SUMMAT to liven it up.
Don't forget when Rossi left Honda it was over contracts, with Rossi stating it was the rider that made the difference and was therefore more important than the bike. He then went to Yamaha taking the core of the old Doohan multiple championship winning pit crew with him, with all its technical knowledge.
that and honda didn't want is boy friend in sight , one of the clauses in rossi's yamaha contract that Orchio or what ever his name is has full access to everything
Fuck motogp! Thats what I say... I was sooo against moto2, but look at it now! It's the beat racing on earth, drop all the manufacturers, let them develope in wsb, and then we can have a proper race in big style moto2 gp style... It's the way forward
