Srsly, this silly season has been ridiculous so far.  I feel like I'm following some show on bravo not motogp.

Maybe Hayden loves the new setup and Rossi not so much on the new eng., etc.   popcorn

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.

So what does Silly Season look like right now (i.e. pre-Laguna): 

Yamaha -- Lorenzo/Rossi
Honda -- Marquez/Stoner
Tech3 -- Smith (why, oh why?) / RDP
Ducati -- Hayden / Crutchlow
LCR  -- Bradl
Gresini -- Bautista
The "piece of shit" -- Colin

WSBK -- Dovi, The Ben (or to pedal bikes)

Rossi mentioned that he had 3 options in MotoGP.

I can't figure what the third one is.

If Rossi bails from Ducati, I think that Jeremy Burgess's input would have had a lot of influence on his decision.

Factory Honda with Gresini?  Hell, Tech 3 would take him in a heartbeat if Yammie would let him.  Then again, if Yammie is gonna put him on their bike, they'll do it on the factory team, especially since Lorenzo (at least publicly) hasn't nixed it.  Also, Tech3 can't afford him and his crew.

I think if Burgess has Rossi leave Ducati it's for one of two reasons, one: he hasn't had the input he wants into the bike or two:he's had all the input done and it still sucks.

either way, Burgess and Rossi leaving Ducati should be egg on their face after talking crap about Stoner.

he's already openly said he can't ride the bike the way stoner did.  he threw in the towel on that comment quite a while ago.

other than that, i think it's more the former.  they've had lots of input but either they've ignored the most significant requests or been told "no".


as for three options for rossi, well, there are really only 3 bikes on the grid, so...  Wink
