MOTOGP » Rossi: This is what I've been waiting for

Yeah I bet Michelin loosing lots of sleep over rossi too funny.... hmmm wonder how motivated Michelin will be now in 08 ?? Dani sure aint complaining about his choice of tyres lately I hear? Didnt here any whining from Hayden either at the island ?
Horhay will be sitting pretty come the later part of season 08 as top Yamaha rider I predict.

GO HORHAY

Burgess makes great assesments, always interesting to read
After Vale's accident he described that'data showed he was a little bit earlier on the throttle than the previois laps
and that the hand was actually broken by the violent shaking of the handlebars, not by hitting the ground,
imagine that

I've read about J.Burgess commenting more about Michellin than Rossi and - he mentioned that now that michellins have lost rossi - they are in an even worse position ( kinda "stuffed" ) as tings will be clearer as how bad they were - so didnt really think rossi would be non-diplomatic. looked like JB was commenting more towards that way..so dont think its really a big deal / it was more like an opinion..nothing non diplomatic i think

Im glad Rossi so happy with his new tyres.
Remember his comments later in the season if hes not winning coz suddenly Bridgestone will not be so good after all.e

Sorry about my post down the page earlier. I think I might have cursed Rossi

Yeh I know, it looks a bit like a cane toad when see in frontal view sorry...
Still it's a pretty engine... why build such an ugly doghouse around it

My favourite Ducati moment was Capirossis first win with the 990, when he neeled down in tears when their anthem was played, then you could really feel what it means to them

Hell NO! I want him to win something! Hehehe,...ahem.
Have you SEEN the new 1125 Buell? Ack, hit with the ugly stick it was!

Wouldn't you like to see him on a Buell then?

But seriously, I think his Ducati talking was blown out of proportion, he said things to trigger Yamaha and part of it was
a joke. The press picks up on it fast because he is in the limelight. Ofcourse winning on a Ducati would be a very 'Italian' thing to do but Casey has 'stolen' the opportunity to do that so they don't need him to prove they can do it.
I would like to see him bring Yamaha back to the front and produce a winning bike so that the other riders can benefit,
it will only make the top broader and that is good for the sport.

Yeah more than likely Morgue. I'd still like to see him ride the Ducati before he retires from bike racing though, even if it's only for sentimental reasons!

He said before he didn't want to go far beyond - say - 32 in MotoGP
but I think next season is pivotal in making his decision, another mediocre Yamaha year may push him out of the sport
and into WRC. They are welcoming him with open arms there, imagine the amount of people he will get interested in that sport too, the Rossi effect
He will get known in new countries like New Zealand, Argentina, Norway, Sweden, Ireland.
Probably ending up competing in the Dakar Rally untill he reaches 46 years and retire....
