MOTOGP » Jorge Lorenzo signs new Yamaha contract

congratulation....up close ur spirit

Its a bit disappointing for next season, as all the serious teams remain the same (fiat,respol,ducati) and I can see tech3 being unchanged too, as now yamaha dont have to worry about bringing through a replacement rookie (or maybe they do cos 1year contract). The also ran, wacky racers further down the grid might change, but they battle for 8th to 14th and its a big thing if they get into top 6. Its just a pity because its always fun to see how the dynamic of new teams will work out, but all we can expect now is more of the same. Just would of liked iut mixed up a bit.

A smart move.

Now where does the Casey story go now ? Tech 3 ?

46

Yeyyyyy good boy

The right move by Jorge, no doubt. I do agree that it is a shame for the silly season though, I was looking forward to a shake'n'bake throughout the top factories. It seems that Casey and Nicky will stay in place, seeing as how Casey is contracted and Nicky helps the US sales so much. Only questions left being- What happens to Toseland? Canepa in or out at Pramac? Aoyama to replace Talmasci or team with him at Scot? Will Spies make the jump? I'm still plenty excited :P

Good old Gorgeous Jorge!
Always gives us a good drama!
I'm glad he is staying, and turning down more money from Ducati.
Maybe he will win a few more races from now.

this is fantastic news.... glad Jorge saw the light and made the right decision!!! - now may be he'll relax a bit and have a winning run into the end of the season.
Yahama by far the best bike and definatley the place to be to win the championship. Lorenzo is an exciting and fantastic racer now and will only get better racing along side Rossi and with yahama, excellent!!!
Now the gossip can shift to the other teams and who's going where and is Casey ever coming back etc etc etc..

if the assistant follows the doctor for an other year, and learn from the doctor he wil be as good as rossi. no doubt!
he wil be the next jorge-fumi

I was hoping JLo has the balls to make a move and challenge Stoner.
Maybe smart but definitely not brave

oh yesssss
great news.
he's a drama queen, he loves the attention but he can back it up.
Just needs to take the step back from the edge and stop the crashing. He did it at the start of the year but trying to put pressure on rossi he has made mistakes.
I think he has the strength to dig out of this hole and come out fighting again. especially now that he has this contrct sorted

as i said, great news!!
