So who's out Hayden or Stoner?

Hmn Stoner and Rossi as teamates on Ducatis.  Now that would make for interesting racing.

can i actually start to cheer for Rossi now? how awesome would this be? cant wait to see.

If the rumors where true with Stoner then Rossi would be taking his spot in the team...

I love Silly Season....  ;D ;D ;D

Yes. Will be interesting to see what actually happens.  I'm usually disappointed to find that everybody stays put!

pretty sure that the people in question will be moving for next year...

mcn are the bike equivalent of the daily sport! i wouldn't believe too much of their "exclusive". still, if rossi thinks moving from yamaha to ducati is going to fix his team mate woes he's kidding himself, lorenzo will wipe the floor with him on the yamaha, and if stoner leaves and he's left with nicky hayden as a team mate he's really screwed, that guy couldn't develop a polaroid.
stoner may be forced to move on but if he goes to honda he may get what he needs to win the title, after all they have thrown everything they have at pedrosa with no luck, and hopefully the duke will fall in a heap and everyone will be reminded that not only did stoner help develop the bike into a championship winner as well as developing the bridgestone tyres that rossi threw a tantrum to get, but also that he's (stoner) the only one who can consistently make the bike successful.

paul.

mate I agree with everything you said - whilst Rossi going to Ducati will be a marketing dream for them - development wise it will be a big step backwards.  Yes JB can work miracles, but he is not Merlin (or Harry Potter for you younger folk!!)

Oh and that polariod comment - gold! ;D

spot on paul [thumbsup] but rossi needs a cup of cement and harden the make the beast with two backs up the big sook

+1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Paul, Mr.S2R and Bazz.
Now Stoner and Hayden have done all the hard work he wants to move to Ducati. make the beast with two backs Rossi, and his fag mate.

Is it time to look for a new job?

Hey Bikeless read this...

Rossi Laps Brno Under Race Record, But No Announcement Yet - Updated

Submitted by David Emmett on Mon, 2010-07-12 19:25.

Valentino Rossi's second test after returning from injury has been completed, and judging by the times, Rossi is fit and ready to race. According to times posted by Rossi's team manager Davide Brivio on Twitter, the Italian lapped Brno in a time under the race lap record set by Cal Crutchlow a day previously, on exactly the same bike. Rossi's lap time was 1'59.135, while Crutchlow's race lap record is 1'59.291.

and my view.....


This is why Val is a god...  Well a PR god anyway...
 
Compare with the way CS behaved with his fans, sponsors and the media when he was crook...  [roll]
 
I hope CS looks like he is trying next race if he is behind Dani...   That last effort and the post race comments were crap...

Rossi wants to come back just to let everyone know he can still ride rings around everyone - and Rossi is the best at psychological games!  I bet Jorgay is shitting himself right now.

As for Stoner - yeah he may not of treated people well when he was crook, but do anyone? (I know I am not the best  [laugh]).  Yet he silenced his critics pretty well when he came back, well except for that little mistake at the end.... :P

I reckon now Stoner doesnt have to worry about his contract he will get back to business (probably the reason for the post race comments, waiting for the ink to dry on the contract).  I doubt he will give Dani an easy time about it - may even pass him!   [moto] [laugh]

A mate I work with (he's an Italian teacher) just told me that most of Italy is going mad with the news of Rossi signing a 2 year deal with Ducati.
He recently spoke to a mate who lives in Northern Italy.
Does that mean the JB will go to team red as well??

Fun times ahead!

Rossi would have to take JB with him - or else Rossi wont have a competitive bike to his standards!  ;D

^^^ true true^^^ Will be interesting to see what JB can do with the Duc especially with the front end probs they are having at the moment.

Rossi........ He D man  [bow_down] [cheeky]

First he takes his bike, then his wife. Gotta watch those Italians! [laugh]

 [clap] [clap] [clap]

am I seeing things or has she got "Man Hands" (quote taken from Seinfeld)

me smells some  photoshopping here

I have actually seen her walking around Mallala here in South Aus and definitely no man hands (years ago before she was Mrs Stoner)! An ass like a 10 year old boy, but not man hands...... As the Monty Python's say he is on lucky lucky lucky bastard!  Casey that is!!  ;D

I would have thought a woman's rear end should look like a womans' rear end.  [roll]

Yup...   I'm with ya all the way H...   [clap]

Ita

haha I was taking a quote out of the movie True Lies - Bill Paxton says it - very funny line - guess it just does not translate well here..... [laugh]

she does have a fine "womans' rear end"  [thumbsup]

I'm sorry to disappoint you but she has NO arse. Spotted her last year in Cowes Coles supermarket, and man is she skinny. Her long legs just go up into her back.
I think she has a butt (if you can call it that ) of a primary school kid

See I know I am old when my first thought was ... 'that's because she is!'


I have heard that line before and could only imagine it came from a (oh shit I will get myself in to trouble here) ... well ... I'll say ... umm ... choir-master.


Agreed - doesn't mean it has to be big [cheeky] ;D

Vossy you're not disappointing me - like I said it was YEARS ago - she has probably taken on the European thin look!

Sir Mixalot I am not, but a chick who has no ass can still make it look great just as equally as a chick that has an ass on a bike!!  [thumbsup] [moto]

Now I'm feeling real old. Ah,.. remember the days when you could eat/drink as much as you liked and still be slim! (we really need an old fart smiley).
She looks a similar age to my daughters! Shit, and Caseys still got pimples!

She does appear to be a sweet kid, as pretty as she is, quite unassuming and a little shy. The 'girl next door' kind of impression. It must be a refreshing change in that GP circus.

If I was Casey, I'd still keep an eye on that Rossi! Those Italians![laugh]

... and his voice still hasn't broken. People complain about his personality, but its just teen angst [laugh]


What, once a groupie always a groupie?

But worried about Rossi? Seriously?
It has been suggested that he bats for the other team ... but it is possible he is just playing a completely different game.

Edit: I thought I better put in a smiley or two coz computer talk can come across so terse.
Cheers :)

I have heard that too, but it's probably just that he is urbane. Anyway that photo of the elegant Italian lass settles that rumour (if it really is his girlfriend). Anyway, it's not my business if the GOAT is straight or gay, he's the GOAT! :)
Rossi is to MotoGP what Ali was to boxing.  [bow_down]

Another rumour going around..........
Jeremy Burgess is leaving Rossi and going to be on Casey's team at HRC.

Wow. If it's true then I would back Casey to win the championship next year while Rossi and Preziosi sort out the Duke. Teams could be lining up along national lines. Go Anzacs.

Rossi's Brno announcement is going to be a bit of an anticlimax.  [coffee]

ducatinewstoday (http://www.ducatinewstoday.com/2010/08/ducati-ceo-confirms-rossi-and-hayden-for-2011/?ref=nf)

but it was such a BIG secret, I'm truely  :o

For the first time in a long time I am REALLY looking forward to next years season!!  ;D [thumbsup] [moto]

Lets hope its a knockem' down, drag em' out injury free season for all with elbows out racing.  [thumbsup] [bow_down]

Just watch the Spaniards crack.  [evil]

LAMEDEN must be bringing some fantastic US sponsorship dollars, because he does bugger all else!

Unfortunate but true! "Screw your ability son, just show me the size of the Peso stash you can supply the team?!"  [roll] :(
