When asked if it was hard work racing, Doohan once said, "Beats digging ditches for a living" (which he had done).
Don't think Lorenzo has ever had a real job though... I had to take a quick look to see which side of the international date line that one was written on...
I made it a little easier to spot by having April1 in the URL however.....  Assumed a few may not get hat over ere it was already April 1 |

He's tired of playing second fiddle. He's gonna leave Yamaha.
That's my prediction...wearing red next season, and cashing huge checks. Rossi's new 2 year deal sealed it. |

Yep, just as VR is celebrating 20 years international racing with hoopla. JL wont be able to stand it. At least we will get another alien after CS.

I just wish that Alien was MM though (or Vinales once he joins that group this year)
I reckon he would love to tick off anything Rossi did not acheive.
Honda have to get the bike into a better package or there is the possibility of him at another factory.
Wonder how the KTM will fare in its wildcards this year.

Shortly after Jorge announces he's going to Ducati, Yamaha will announce that Maverick is taking his seat.

I suspect you could be right, but if Jorge stays put (which is what I expect), I'm guessing Vinales' agent might be making a visit to the Ducati garage to find out how big that number was... |

Good point. More so from an agent's point of view  . |

One of the big 3 will sign Viñales or better said, either Yamaha or Ducati will sign him. Depends on Lorenzo.

I love the first line in Paolo Ciabatti's quote in what amounts to a "just chill, everybody" statement out of Ducati: “We make no secret about knowing that both Marquez and Lorenzo have contracts that expire at the end of this season,” Ciabatti stated. “We have been looking into the possibilities and talking to our riders. Other teams are also talking to our riders. It's quite normal at the moment. Obviously we wouldn't be doing our job properly if we didn't look into the possibilities.

I would be really pleased if Ducati sign MM or Mav. I like Mav and have grown to really like the other little bugger.

That would be handy to pry MM and Repsol away from Honda.
But I expect that would be such a titanic event, just not likely....

I wonder if more races like the last will make Jlo less likely to go to Ducati. For the reason that he is the most affected by any change to the bike and while the Duc is now a contender... he would also have to give up a bike which is perfectly suited to his riding style.

It would be dumb to sell your bike because of a douchebag starts riding it. It would be dumber if the douchebag actually wins on it.
