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?!?!?!

Red Bull is rumored to be considering sponsoring a GP team to counteract the Monster Energy sponsorship...just sayin Smiley

(ultimately) 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....

the "GOOOOOOO!!!!!" was more due to tobacco advertising laws.

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?!?!?!

how will it figure into the equation? did you see what they (reportedly) offered lorenzo when casey was sidelined?

but Lorenzo doesn't have a problem or a conflict with cigarette sponsorship....so that doesn't matter...Rossi lining up sponsors for the bike either to replace or coincide with Marlboro changes the tune, hence my 2nd question...

Red Bull is rumored to be considering sponsoring a GP team to counteract the Monster Energy sponsorship...just sayin Smiley

and I heard that as well...but I thought it was rumored to be linked to the Zuke as a replacement for Rizla...

That is a good deal more than Yamaha have offered the Italian. Rossi is reportedly currently under contract for some 14 million euros, but had been in discussions with Yamaha prior to Mugello about reducing his salary to between 9 and 10 million euros. That reduction was being driven by the need to cut costs, and the Corriere dello Sport is reporting that Rossi was looking favorably upon the salary cut, and had expressed a desire to finish his career at Yamaha.

But it appears that part of that salary cut is needed to fund a doubling of Jorge Lorenzo's contract, from 4 million in 2010 to 8 million in 2011. This, understandably, has left Rossi much less amenable to taking the pay cut, and probably more disposed to consider other options.



O.U.C.H. .  I'd move to Ducati too.

rossi said he'd never race for tobacco money... and then he rode for gauloises. in my opinion, rossi's opposition to tobacco sponsorship ended there.

No...now it's fixed:


Marlboro Mkt cap 40.86B
FIAT Mkt cap 13.90B

i'm pretty sure marlboro will continue their sponsorship of ducati (and ferrari) until they just don't want to anymore.

More details look to have emerged of the Ducati offer that could tempt MotoGP superstar Valentino Rossi  to the Italian team for 2011.

Money looks to be one of the main factors - but not in the way you might imagine.

The Italian media are reporting that Ducati/Marlboro has tabled an offer of 15 million euros a year for the reigning nine time world champion - with future F1 and Rallying options with Ferrari/Fiat thrown in for good measure.

Please...please....PLEASE....
