And the 100% chance that will change when Marlboro puts an 8-figure contract with contingencies and fringe benefits involving umbrella girls in front of him.

He's the #9 earning athlete in the world. He's not hurting for cash.

I'm not sure that matters. People with money are often obsessed with getting more of it. It's kind of like heroin, if you think about it.

Keep in mind that Michael Jordan was 99% sure he was going to stay retired and look what happened. Or Troy Bayless was retired and look what happened. If they aren't 100%, then they might as well say "I'm not sure where I'll end up."

nothing is 100% sure until the dotted line is signed, and he doesn't have a contract yet.
it seems his preference is staying at yamaha, though they apparently haven't ironed out he details yet.
rossi has little left to prove in motogp and one of the few items left on his checklist is taking ago's all time win record. i'd think he'd want to be mounted on a known (to him) quantity to give himself the best chance at that.
yes, the duc can win races, but rossi knows HE can win races on the yamaha.

"To be honest my priority is to keep Valentino more than Jorge. Valentino came to Yamaha in 2004 and he contributed a lot to us.

Ducati might like that the focus is on Rossi while they work the back channels to lock down Lorenzo.

given hayden's recent results, lorenzo is probably less scared of the ducati than he was last year.
plus he's already got a good starting point for the salary negotiations.

Yamaha just made Lorenzo's salary demands go down. Ducati knows that Yamaha will ditch him if he forces them. Because of that, Ducati doesn't need to pony up what they offered before. And because (a) Casey's still a possibility (for now), (b) there isn't an added premium to the salary--like their was last year--because of the uncertainty of the bike, (c) there isn't the same desperation from Ducati to sign someone.
