I did not see that coming...there was that blurb a lil while back about Yamaha trying to court him when the Melandri move was announced, but he has/had a 3 year contract and Davide himself was quoted as reinforcing that...

HUH???

Man, I wish I'd been born in Indonesia, Russia or Brazil.  I could get a GP ride in no time.  All have large populations, a lot of corporte $ and no representation in GP.  I'd be set, even if I ran 30 seconds a lap slower than everyone else.

"by mutual consent with immediate effect"

"blahblahblah  blah blah" to me?

laughingdp.. exactly.  even if you get kicked out of the room, the fact that you walked through the door under your own power could be construed as 'consent'  =)

They've been saying that for a while.  Curious that they're basically gonna put back together a team that was plagued by technical problems and DNFs during their WSBK run. That said, a lot of that was teething for the new R1, particularly the electronics.  And once Woody showed up, things started looking up.

exactly.  they won on the first iteration of a vastly different bike.  ...then again, he had no problem with the 2008 either.  

besides, look at what cal says about that bike this year, and it's up 10+hp from 2009.  it's a pregnant dog to get that thing right.  frankly i think jt kinda got suckered, like so many GP08 riders.

as a team manager he got his rider what he needed to take the championship... sounds like he did his job.  Grin

I know, I know.  I'm just sayin' that the team didn't win it the easy way.   They're lucky they had The Ben as a rider, cuz the bike wasn't helpin' 'em much.
