Yam will certainly choose Valentino,why? because he is a manufacturers dream rider... He sells bikes, he also has the largest fan base of any rider, he is the second most successful rider of all time and i dont think there will be another character that shines above all others like Rossi so perhaps THE most successful rider of all time...He is MotoGP. Lorenzo (love or hate him) is an awesome racer but will never have the charisma and following that valentino has.
