Let the madness begin! Last I heard Ducati was thinking about replacing Rossi with me. It would save them a shit load of money and how could I do any worse??!!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

I can see Stoner quitting...
'specially if he repeats this year and the restrictive rules become reality.

.....The other piece of improbable news comes from inside the Repsol Honda camp. According to the normally reliable Spanish magazine Solomoto, Casey Stoner is considering retirement at the end of the 2012 season. According to Solomoto, the reigning World Champion is said to be tired of the itinerant lifestyle forced upon him by the MotoGP season, away from home for long periods of the year, and with only a few short months a year back in Australia....
this to me seems like some well crafted tabloidism for to pave the way for Marquez to step up to the next class more than anything....

While I'm sure they want to move Marquez up, they wouldn't do it at Stoner's expense unless he actually wanted out. How many heads would roll at honda if Stoner went to yamaha and won a championship? If anyone were pushed out, I'm sure it would be Pedrosa.

This... but if he podiums in his first year then I can see pedrosa possibly being pushed out. Pedrosa is a alien, but the only one that hasnt wont a championship yet.
Shall we start the 2014 Silly season thread already? haha
But I think the person that should be the most worried on the grid right now has to be Spies... Rossi, no matter what happens, will always be Rossi. Even if he's not winning, he's making money. Spies on the other hand...

There's been some talk about that rule disappearing because of the limited number of non CRT bikes on the grid.
It's probably wild speculation too.

If Repsol decides they want Marquez on a factory RC next year, there's at least a decent chance the rookie rule goes away.
I agree about Ben
. My half assed jokes about Jarvis sabotaging him.. maybe they have 1% more credence now in fantasy land. I mean, there's just no good reason for what he said about Ben last month.
Gonna be a very active season, either way.
I bet stoner does not retire.

it's wasn't super duper egregious, but why use reverse psych motivation in the press before the season even starts? dick.
