Rossi's in the right on this one IMO.  Did you watch the FIAT interviews?  George basically says that he is relying on Rossi to develop the bike so that George can go fast.  Rossi's right to complain that he is being made to develop a bike (With no input from Jorge) that is being given to one of his chief rivals.  Let George win on his own. 

I really hope they're not teammates next year.

Wonder if anyone will actually bet that they remain teammates?  I might have to wander over to the 2011 Silly Season thread to see.   Grin

let them fight a duel....

Mebbe - if Rossi wins the championship in 2010, then he stays with Yamaha until he retires.  If not, I can see him going elsewhere to try for the three-peat.  Maybe Kawasaki can be tempted back in?  But I still like the idea of him on something out of left field.  IMO, among all the riders, only Rossi can attract sponsor's millions without much difficulty.

I don't see Rossi going anywhere until he loses the championship.  When he does, whoever pics him up will have a very motivated rider.  That is the key with Rossi you have to challenge him and keep him motivated. 

Jorge will likely go to Honda b/c he has the killer instinct/aggressiveness Dani doesn't.

Spies being unproven in MotoGP would grab my ear if he didn't set all kinds of records in his ROOKIE/Title winning season for WSBK.  I didn't want him to be that good, but he just is and has the mental strength to challenge Rossi....he will be on the podium more than once this year  popcorn

Ducati is stuck with Stoner....thats a good thing, cause the guy is gonna light things on fire this year (warmup highsides excluded).  He is not going anywhere unless Ducati builds the Ark(w/$100 bills) and Rossi walks out of it.

My curve ball, Spies has the chance to get sniped from Yamaha this year.  I think Ben, would go for the big bucks and developing a 1000cc GP bike into a championship winner.  It will be hard to pry him from the Yams, but there is a chance and Ducati has the right cards to do it.

I know, I know....I'll copy and paste into the 2011 Silly Season thread.....so, walls are good, we all like the rivalry  coffee

Well, now we will see how well Rossi can do without being able to rip off Jorge's set-up.

RightO....I mean he can get swiped for 2012 and beyond to develop his own 1000cc GP bike creating his own legacy.

didn't he lose it in 2006 and 2007?  Smiley

I should clarify....if he loses the championship to another Yamaha.  I could see him going to Ducati, but not if Casey holds the title....he will only go if he can develop the bike and win on it...that is the challenge Rossi is seeking.  If he stays on bikes he only has two manufacturers to choose from, continue with Yamaha or write the Hollywood ending with Ducati

Ooops! Hope Jorge doesn't hurt his hand some more during one of his inevitable race crashes he will have chasing Valle!
