If the 1-2 years in WSBK part of the contract is true, that's a
brilliant
move by Yamaha of using their leverage.

+1 I presume that with all these articles coming hard and fast Rossi will not be able to wait until Indy to announce.

He'll do it beforehand.
I can't wait to hear the specifics. I can't believe they've got him tied up for 3-4 years. That gives them leverage to renegotiate the contract if they need/want him in GP.
The only downside is if he is still really competitive but nevertheless insists on going to WSBK while Yammie wants to keep him in GP for some reason. Cuz that'll be a problem for Dorna and then for Yamaha. That said, if he's still that competitive, I can't see him going to WSBK.

Or if he gets seriously hurt. Or if they want to waive the last two years of contract and effectively sell him to another GP team. There could be a buncha situations where it'd be great to have the GOAT as your backup plan.

Rossi to Yamaha story was a hoax.

I knew I could get you guys all wound up!
Seriously though, until I see it in print on the MotoGP.com site, I take it ALL as speculation and rumor. Well that or Rossi's official site.
Would I like to see him stay on the Duc and actually win? Hell yes.
But I would rather see him riding for podiums and wins on a Yamaha over testing leather durability on while battling for 8th on the Ducati.

Copied from the MotoWheels forum:
Funny that he signed "CIAO" right next to the Ducati markings on the jacket. That's all the confirmation you need that he's going back to Yamaha.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Ok, raising of hands from those that want him to go back to Yamaha. I think this alien needs to get back to the mothership. Screw Ducati.

It's still the same situation... they just put lambo as the official owners to skirt some laws as stated in the article. Smart biz move and it affects nothing.
