retired guy #3 on the list.. .sheesh.

That struck me odd as well.  Tongue

I suspect the $ gap from #1 to #2 may be a good bit less for '09.  Roll Eyes

#3 retired guy though has a branded endorsement contract/agreement for liscencing unlike any other I've ever seen...between shoe and clothing branding and then motorcycle gear...and I know he is diversified...I remember reading something in S.I. a few years ago ( it was the swimsuit issue, the only reason I had really picked it up, but the article happened to be in there) he talked a little about how he has his hands in many pots for to keep him well for many a year to come....so I am not surprised he is on that list....as high as he is, yes, but on there...no.

I still say he goes only after he has turned Lorenzo into a whimping blob who just sits in the corner of the asylum making throttle twisting motions and wetting himself.   Grin

http://www.motomatters.com/news/2010/02/04/yamaha_press_conference_transcript_data_.html

Q. To VR: If you have to leave Yamaha at the end of the year, will we be more likely to see you with the red Ducati or the red Ferrari?

Valentino Rossi: I have decided to not speak anymore about 2011 because everything I say is good in one way and bad in another. I simply don't know what will happen.


Q. To VR: You will be 31 soon...

Valentino Rossi: Very soon! But I think if my body stays the same and the motivation stays the same then it will be possible to make two or three more years like this in MotoGP. But anyway it depends on my result because, I am Valentino Rossi, I won a lot of races, a lot of championships and when I understand that I can't do this anymore, I know it's time to stay at home, work in the garden...!

Really interesting article on how the 2011 Silly Season will total negate any cost cutting they've done so far because of the salary bidding for the Aliens.  It predicts Lorenzo to Honda, Pedrosa to Ducati, Stoner and Rossi to stay put and The Ben to Fiat Yamaha.

I hope he's wrong.

The bot will fail on the Duc too.

Geez I hope Pedro doesn't come over to Ducati.  Tongue

...although, since he is so tiny the D16 could probably launch him half way across the circuit!  Shocked   laughingdp

I'd agree.

He requires predictable, and the Duc has never shown itself to be that.

Lorenzo says he wants to stay with Yamaha and would be fine having Rossi as a teammate.  Really, this whole thing boils down to what Rossi decides to do.

"I would like to stay with Yamaha, because [it's the best bike on the paddock.  and i don't want to be beat by The Ben on my bike if we go somewhere else.  Besides, the way it stands today, i get what i want at yamaha]..."

exactly.  other than money, there's, currently, zero reason* for him to want to go anywhere.  let's face it, in motogp you want rossi + JB on your side.


*edit: unless he convinces himself that the way to beat rossi is to not be on the same bike.  would be foolish imo, but you gotta consider it.  esp if Suppo is over there preparing a gigantic HRC check + a lot of promises.
