MOTOGP » Rossi hints at WRC future with Ford

I always thought the king of trackdays ummmm WSBK was King Carl and not TB. King Carl has 4 championship where Bayliss only had 3. Still King Carl raced the IOM in place of parade laps and did not feel the need to test F1 or WRC.

MOTOGP » Elias: I threw it away.

Maybe the bad luck Elias is getting is due to another rider putting a curse on him for riding dangerous. Maybe Elias need to make a F1 and WRC test, plus a trip to IOM where he does a parade lap to lift the curse. Even if it does not, it might get his name in the media and take some of the spotlight away from the Media Superstar "Me Me 46"

MOTOGP » Rossi hints at WRC future with Ford

Ha ha ha ha ha lsimanjorang Your correct there is one big differece between Rossi and Bayliss and it is the EGO. Rossi's ego is that big they need to hire a seperate aircraft for trips. In regards to Bayliss and Rossi, I wonder if Bayliss had been given the same chances as Rossi, if he would not have taken a world championship. Still I dont think Bayliss would be one to really worry, he had the respect of the real fans, riders and other teams. He also knew that politics cost him a fair chance in Motogp. Unlike "Me Me" Rossi, who is about getting his face on TV, in the Media with rubbish stories on WRC, F! tests and IOM. The Media Superstar is not fit to lick Troy Bayliss boots.

MOTOGP » Rossi hints at WRC future with Ford

Seems to me, that a certain rider has spat the dummy after being beaten last weekend by his team mate. This sounds like another threat by Felix Rossi, into Yamaha only focusing on him and not Jorge. Maybe we will see another wall in a Yamaha team, with 100 per cent focus and nothing given to the other 3 riders. This will keep happy and squash any further Rally comments until his next WRC and F1 tests at the end of the year. Felix, I don't think JB is a gun at engineering F1 or WRC cars. I also wonder how he will go sharing the spot light with another person in his co-driver. Seems everything is about Rossi.

MOTOGP » Valentino Rossi to attend Isle of Man TT.

I am suprised the Rossi Media circus don't have him doing laps in his Ford Forcus rally car. better make sure he is nice and safe behind a roll cage, where the other rider put it on the line. Honestly it is only the 3rd race of the season and the rubbish is getting posted again. Normally they wait until the end of season. Maybe Jorge, rattled a certain riders cage. Maybe it is his way of make threats to Yamaha, you give me a better bike than Jorge or I will leave the sport. Typical spoilt "it's my party, and I'll cry if I want to" from the DORNA GOAT. Maybe he will quit GP and race IOM, nope only if he gets special tires. I think my 8 years old have more maturity.

MOTOGP » Valentino Rossi to attend Isle of Man TT.

A parade lap..........wow........... This will make Rossi a true GOAT, NOT.............. This will prove King Carl's point about real riders on superbikes and having Cojones........... Isle of Man TT is for real riders......Joey Dunlop and Mike Hailwood would be turning over in thier graves.................... These guys were legends of motorcycle racing and not media superstars like the DORNA GOAT...................

MOTOGP » Stoner subdued by chatter.

I always thought the reason why Rossi did not go to Ducati, was due to the fact they would not allow his core engineering group from Honda move across and develop the bike. My guess is Ducati wanted to be totally in control of bike development and setup, when Rossi wanted his engineers to have a much bigger say that Ducati wanted to give. This was the main reason they went to Yamaha and not Ducati. Really the turn around at Yamaha was due to the engineers and Rossi, where Ducati managed to turn the bike into a championship winner with it's own staff and a rider they could work with. They managed to win a championship without Rossi, Yamaha could not.

MOTOGP » Toseland got what he 'needed'

Very impressive indeed. For someone who is on the best bike in the field and this weekends results confirm this with 1st and 2nd positions, to go along with 3 bikes within top 4. A top 10 finish is about setting high goals. I bet the boys at Yamaha were also impressed. Good stuff James, keep setting those high goals.

MOTOGP » Rossi: Not a great idea.

WUP has been completed. It is obvious to whom is confident in the wet conditions. Seems that James Toseland is that confident on the Yamaha he only came out at the last minute to do a lap, maybe the lad was busy on the ivory. Lets look out for either a monster result from "Crash Bandicoot" or a monster excuse from the lad. Which will it be?

MOTOGP » Rossi: Not a great idea.

I think the GWOAT title has been reserved for a certain rider in another Yamaha team.
