They might...in the sense that people don't want to see him go.

i seriously doubt he'll leave motorcycles while he still has a championship in him.

I agree. But just the thought makes some people sad.

I think if Ferrari called him next week and said they had a full team for him...you know...he was 'the guy'

he'd be gone from motogp.

I'm usually wrong though so pay no attention.

I can't see him give up the chance to make Lorenzo his pregnant dog.  Lorenzo's not sufficiently broken yet--ala Max, Sete and even Casey--for Rossi to feel like his work is done in MotoGP.

Is he really like the rest of us? Tongue

...and FTR...

I don't think he's broken Casey either.

He didn't break Casey completely -- not like Max or Sete.  But he kicked him in the balls pretty good at Laguna, and I count Casey's last season and a half as the aftermath.  So I agree he's not completely broken.  Only time will tell.

If Casey can come back and win the championship in the next year or two, he'll have done something that no one else has done to Rossi, i.e., take the full Rossi treatment and still win.

I think Rossi will finish his career in motorcycles and then go off to do rallies, but he'll likely not do F1. It's too bad, I'd like to see him in there mixing it up, but I think he'll stay in MotoGP for another 4-5 years as long as he's competitive and by then he'll definitely be too old for F1 unless he was a fill in driver or something.

check out the last question.  and then the answer, which is not an answer to the question.

get over it you dope.  there was no contact.  he had already passed you at that top and then and he risked binning it completely in the dirt in order to not hit you.  ...then you fell down all by yourself.  and you're still pregnant doging about it.

all that said, i have this feeling casey is going to be greased lightning fast this year.


back on topic, i agree about valentino.  i think he's not done make the beast with two backsing with lorenzo.  and i think there's a 50/50 chance he finishes his career on a red bike.  and, less of a factor but a factor all the same, i bet he wants to see what ben is up to in a year or so, esp when we all go back to 1000s.

It'll be interesting to see how the new long-bang motor on the D16 stacks up this year.

True. One rider. One bike. 6 Motors.

BTW - Are they changing the flag-to-flag rule in light of the one-bike-per-rider rule? With two bikes per rider, you can pit and switch to a rain-prepped bike. With one bike, will they red-flag the race or will riders just pit and change tires, suspension, and other things NASCAR style?

to my knowledge there are no changes like that on the books.

...interesting how the new GP engine rules make WSBK the more tunable, mechanically adventurous series now (once you get past the production casts, blah blah)

I think they're definitely down to one bike per rider. Just wondering how that's gonna be handled for wet races, given the luck they had with rain in 2009.
