I guess it's fair to say that he's done alright on equipment that's not quite on par with Golden Boy. I am a bit surprised and feel a little ripped off to learn that they don't both have the latest gear, and kind of raises the possibility of team orders again doesn't it?
Oh, for the Rossi fanboys, it's a rhetorical question.

OK then

Tantrum's over and he's saying all the right things.
Seems to have got himself a bit of a pay-rise as well ( in fact it's a massive amount of money, relative to joe public).

So now he's all happy again - lets hope he gets his head down and focusses on his race-craft / composure. The 2009 WC is not Vale's Yet !!!!, but it probably will be if Jorge puts his Bike down again this season.

Bob don't talk crap again! If Lorenzo had anything else rather than the top from the top (in terms of support) he would have already gone for Ducati. The fact that he stayed, although he had been offered a real big money for transfer to Ducati, proves how good is the gear he uses.

Dear Lorenzo,

Dont forget that the development of the M1 is done almost exclusively by Rossi. Rossi with Burgess have built this bike from almost zero to make it a Champion. So, when you demand for the same you should consider some things. Maybe you should be able to develop a bike your own way, something that seems to be difficult for you. If not you would have been already to Ducati, where you would be able to ride a bike that haven't been developed by Valentino.

Jorge has been great for MotoGP and is just out and out fast. No question. But the guy seems to spend too much time looking over the wall his team put up between him and his team mate. He looks to be always watching what Rossi is up too. What money he gets paid and what parts he has on his bike. He could do with just getting on with the job he is paid (a lot) to do. Like it or not, Rossi is a multiple world champ and a media darling - he IS gonna get some "special treatment" from his team. Why wouldnt he? Lorenzo needs to get his head down, keep focus and keep trying to beat him. Cos he will look a total tool if he says the bikes are now the same and still keeps gettin beat.

Don't know what he is talking about. I have heard the words from his mouth this year in an interview that there were NO differences between their bikes. Just trying to make it look like heas been doing an even better job than he actuslly has...which has been excellent by the way.

it's simple,,rossi put the wall in the team because in the team are 2 title cotenders and 1 development rider,,it's not fair to take the gorgeous george on your back for a full season of development,,you thought rossi spoke to yamaha for some special parts and say"oh don't forget to give to jorge!"
the take part in the same team but the development depends on riders..jorge learn to develope because lin jarvis will be tired to give you in every weekend from his pocket a hidden rossi part :D

He is better off staying where he is at Yamaha.
The Ducati is a good bike, but isn't the best bike as i see it like this, If the ducati is that good then how come Every team mate Casey Stoner has had since he has been on the Ducati isn't Challenging him in practice, qualify and in the race?
The ducati seems to suit Casey only!( i am not knocking casey either)
But with the Fiat Yamaha Both riders Rossi and Lorenzo, the bike suits both riders and they are able to qualify near each other and able to race each other for posistion!
Goes to show Fiat Yamaha is best option For now!

we all knew that rossi takes the first upgrade as it comes. there little changes, you dont go 2 seconds faster with.!and now lorenzo has them to, and he has them by the first race in 4 days.!lorenzo negotiate well with yamaha.and extra money.we will see if it make any difference.if it does and he won't fall with the tiny upgrade we will see some great battle for the rest of the season.as much lorenzo wants to beat rossi, as driven is rossi to defeat lorenzo.
so yamaha now have 2 nr1 riders. no difference only ridingskill. lorenzo have enough to. rossi always have. who will come out first now?? vr vs jl. who??
