That doesn't make you any less of a boobie hater.
Besides, there's talk of TW riding a GP11. There, now it's racing related.
In other news, it looks like the Aliens are starting to get pretty frustrated with all the chatter.

The funny part is Lorenzo's bit about the Multistrada.

I thought boobies were the universal trump card no matter where on the board?

I think they should unify and just do what Spies did in the close of his AMA/Yoshimura chapter when he said just plain and simple like to everyone that was hounding him, that he wouldn't discuss any of it at all, his focus was on the job at hand and that is all he was willing to discuss, period! I think he was pretty similar in his comments at the end of last year in speculation of his seating arrangements for either WSBK vs. GP . I think a unified front from them doing the same thing will put the STFU wall up and put a stop to some of this frenzy.

true, only there has never been a silly season like the one we're about to have. or, are having. even if the riders shut up no one else is going to.

It's gonna be unbelievably disappointing after all this chatter if everyone stays put (which is what Yamaha says it wants).
I'm starting to think it's less about what Rossi does (b/c increasingly it looks like he might stay put) and more about Casey. If Casey splits to Honda, then Ducati has to make a play at one of the Yamaha boys b/c--let's be frank here--Pedrosa ain't gonna git it done.

tbh, i'm gonna be surprised no matter what happens. including nothing.
i can come up with too many logical-emotional-financial-professional arguments for too many scenarios.

There's no way that at least a couple of the aliens will not move around. I think it will depend on Spies. If he can consistently be up there, then Yamaha will have a negotiating chip for Lorenzo. If not, then Lorenzo can push for a better deal.

if Spies starts getting consistantly in the top5 all the time...I think Lorenzo's bargaining chip becomes not as valuable as he thinks..either way...I am sure whatever the manufacturers are thinking...the end game of having a rider signed isn't just for next year...it is for the idea of acclimating them into the program to be for when the 1000's come into play...

Spies is definitely a commodity, but I'd be surprised if he damaged Lorenzo's bargaining position. Didn't Lorenzo take second place in his first MotoGP race and win his third race? He was second last year and the points leader this year, and Rossi considers him the biggest threat. He's also Spanish and good with the sponsors (reportedly). Spies is good, but not that good (yet).

He was also already familiar with the tracks, and used to the riding style necessary for the 800s.

Sure, I agree, but it doesn't matter what the reasons are; IMHO, he's closer to the top than Spies is.
