Discussion about rossi's replacement might as well have it's own thread

http://www.motomatters.com/opinion/2010/06/10/rossi_s_replacement_and_the_rookie_rule.html

The artile says that the rookie rule likely won't apply because of "exceptional circumstances."  It also says that there won't be a replacement for the next two rounds, partly as a money-saver, partly out of respect to Rossi, and partly so that they can figure out who his replacement should be.

Well, that's the best idea I've heard yet.  laughingdp

Gibernau would be a good choice as well.

I guess y'all missed this;

http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-racing-news-moto-gp/toseland-favourite-for-rossi-motogp-ride/11926.html

I'm pretty sure Yamaha doesn't want to replace Rossi at all, but according to the Dorna contract they have to. Think of the money they could save.

The article I posted makes a good point about Toseland.  Six rounds in six weeks, and switching back and forth between different tire brands each weekend?  That'll screw up both his MotoGP riding and his chances in WSBK.  He'll highside one of those bikes in that period.  I guess there is the same concern if Spies or Toseland moves up and Crutchlow and/or Toseland takes the Tech 3 seat.

I would think Spies would be the obvious choice over Toseland. I would rather see Crutchlow in the Tech 3 seat, but he has a championship to worry about. Doesn't Tech3 have a moto2 bike, what about moving that rider up?

that's what we've been discussing in the other thread.  julian ryder predicts it will be takahashi (currently tech 3 moto2)

i bet yamaha would not opt for ben first cuz it would mess up his rookie year stats, among other things

12. Will Valentino be meeting the media during his recovery time?

William Favero, Communications Manager, Yamaha Motor Racing: "Valentino will not be giving any interviews to press or television during his recovery time. All Yamaha wants is for him to focus on his rehabilitation and make a full recovery. Yamaha will arrange a press conference with Valentino in due course. In the meantime we will make sure that our sponsors, the fans and the international media are kept updated about his condition through our official spokesmen and team press releases, with the same efficiency and transparency with which we have treated this issue so far."

Ahh, so it WAS Pedrobots fault (inadvertently)

Nice to hear that he knows what went wrong and why it happened, no excuses or questions about the suspension or motor.
