I think GP will be fine after VR leaves.
I do too...

I think the ledgers will reflect his leaving for a while though.

Moto racing will be fine. In the short term, his leaving will hurt the bottom line.

Agreed.

The Sepang incident has indirect consequences for this.  Before, MM was the heir to VR: he had VR's happy, gregarious personality coupled with VR's wild and superhuman riding style and his hyper-competitiveness.  With MM going to VR's ranch and a general sense of mentorship (real or imagined, the public view was that they had some connection), MotoGP has a nice transition lining up from the VR Era to the MM Era, where similarities between the two riders favored VR fans to convert to MM fans as the elder master retired. 

Sepang changed that.  Now, fewer VR fans will likely adopt MM as their favorite rider when VR retires.  The transition will be choppier, I think, with an hiccup on the bottom line.

Exactly this.

And I was ready to root for MM once Rossi was out and I probably still will but there will be that bit of meh in the back of my mind now. Now I just want Dani to get that win now.

More and more reasons why I can't ever seem to root for him. The only time I had a glimmer of it was when he raced at Assen with that broken collarbone.  After that the douche factor went right back up.

Man, this moron got the Golden Ticket at Sepang, and instead of keeping his mouth shut and doing his job, he's just decided to throw that ticket on the ground, $4!+ on it, and light it on fire in front of the whole world.

I hope Yamaha drops him and he spends the rest of his career in purgatory on a customer Honda...

The wall was going up next year, now I'm wondering if it will be up in Valencia. These guys have not liked each other for a long time, which makes me wonder how Yamaha expected them to be "teammates". It was easier when Rossi was coming off the Duc and he was trying to come to grips with the bike after 2 years of hell. I presume that Yamaha just assumed that Rossi was not going to be as consistent. Now they're stuck with these 2 going at each other's throats.

It's just another example of VR being someone's buddy until they become a threat.

JLo and VR got along fine his 1st 2 years back at Yamaha because VR was out of the title chase. Same goes for MM. Now he's not getting along with either. Shocking!

Rossi opened the door when he left the compound and filed the appeal with the CAS.

I don't blame JLo for filing, he'd have been a fool not to.

It does show that You'reghey is worried about the result if Rossi starts from his actual qualy position.

I see it as more like when you get divorced.

You don't *have* to hire a lawyer, but most of the time it's a really good idea.
