Yamaha says its not making any moves until it becomes clear whether Stoner is going to Repsol. At first, we were all talking about the fact that the silly season depended on Rossi's move, not Stoner's.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/84630
I just can't figure out why Yamaha would wait. As soon as Stoner moves, the cost of keeping Valentino and/or Lorenzo goes way up b/c Marlboro NEEDS one of the two of them and will pay accordingly. If Jarvis can get either or both of them to sign before Casey moves, it'll cost less.
Then again, maybe Yamaha doesn't have a choice but to wait.

that article sounds like a lot of aspirational jibber jabber.
stoner is going to honda. repsol will keep dani. i don't know about dovi. i don't know about nicky, but i bet ducati keeps him. jorge stays, ben becomes his teammate. rossi goes to ducati.
i think rossi can leave yamaha in good conscience and i don't think the italian in him can resist.

give burgess and rossi a season of free reign development on it and i'd say he could even win on that.

Wonder if Rossi takes into consideration the possibility of having 3 GP championships with 3 different manufacturers? Has anyone ever done that? Seems it might solidify him as the GOAT if he isn't already.

my only question is this....the 15million euro's being offfered....does it come from Ducati, or from Marlboro?....Rossi has said in the past how he has a rather distaste for cigarette sponsorship ( hence how Galouise quickly ceased being a sponsor prominantly displayed on Rossi's Yamaha M1 bike ( instead displaying "GOOOOOO!!!!!!" ) and then soon was replaced with other sponsorship....Rossi has happily driven a Marlboro sponsored Ferrarri and I hardly see Marlboro going anywhere without a fight...and though Rossi can link himself to many a speculative sponsor (see some of the many photoshops of the Sedici with Rossi number and sponsorship of Fiat, Martini, etc. plastered on the bike)...but Marlboro has the capital and IS willing to spend it.....so in the end...how does that figure in the equation?!?!?!
