too early for a 2011 thread?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/8349264.stm#
World champion Valentino Rossi has hinted he will leave Yamaha if they do not drop Jorge Lorenzo in 2011.
"Yamaha have to decide between me and Jorge for 2011," Rossi told BBC Two. "I have a great option to join Ducati."

I'm looking forward to the 2010 silly season. Really can't wait to see how all the riders shake up considering all of the "aliens" are out of contract. I'd almost expect Marlboro to ditch Stoner and snatch one of the other three considering their issues with Stoner's lack of media presence. He might win the championship, but Stoner still sucks for marketing.

if he's still performing, they won't ditch him. they'll lowball him and he can leave if he wants to/thinks he can challenge on non-duc.

body doubles, threats, etc..
i understand why you say that... esp if lorenzo and rossi are on the market.. but the guy is still batshit fast. you can still market the hell out of a title, even if your pilot is not rossi'esque with the media.
then again, if you aactually have rossi instead..

Stoner's a racer. The marketing drones should be able to spruce him up, give him an angle, and prod the media into action. They shouldn't let him go because the teeth bleachers are sitting on their hands. They should keep Stoner, get some new marketing folks to package him and sell him.

that part of the marketing is easy.
it's the "please show up for a photo shoot" or "marlboro would like you to make an appearance (and maybe even race the whole season, please)" shit that stoner can't be bothered to do.

He does show up. He's just so fast that he comes and goes before anyone even notices he's there. Just ask Adriana

I'd like to see some more Americans, Australians and Englanders in Moto2 otherwise we'll be complaining that no one can get into GP in a couple of years…
