Linkie now works. To be more precise, Yamaha made an offer for Rossi to return under their terms, be the #2 to Lorenzo. The article implied that Rossi practically begged Yamaha to come back. For most of the season the rumors were that he would go to Honda. I think that Yamaha's offer was a shot in the dark that just might have hit the bullseye. I personally think that Rossi will not pass up the opportunity to be competitive again. I see him running back to Yamaha.

Yep, it will be interesting.  Ofcourse Lorenzo is going to be unhappy but same time he will show off that he is #1 factory rider while Rossi is #2.  Too bad for Dovi then who will still be stuck at Tech3 while Cal moves to Ducati.  Hmm it will ve interesting.....

he claims he won't be

but same time he will show off that he is #1 factory rider while Rossi is #2. 

doesn't need to show it off.  valentino is already calling him the best rider in the world, at the moment

Too bad for Dovi then who will still be stuck at Tech3 while Cal moves to Ducati.  Hmm it will ve interesting.....

maybe.  probably.


that article doesn't really say anything new.  we're just making them some money by looking at it  Smiley

Derby, sort of...

MCN might have been a bit too premature, but they're already publishing a "Rossi to Yamaha" edition of their mag.

There is a sentence below the bigger font headline ending with a question mark :-)

From Motomatters:

 Thomas Baujard of @moto_journal has the scoop. MacKenzie spoke to Rossi at Yamaha's HQ in Amsterdam. He's signed the deal. Good job Tom!

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.
