Look at how they treated Colin Edwards! Do you think they treated Rossi any better just because he is the best?? They feel that their bike is the best and anyone can win on it!

If true, Yamaha had better get to work.Suprising that the rumor about Rossi/Ducati seems to have faded.

Well - looks like we'll see who's got da mojo, won't we?
As pissed off as Edwards was it'll be interesting to see if he'll join 'em. 'course, Aprilia really doesn't have their stuff together (what, with bikes catching fire at 120 mph and shit).

Talked with a good buddy on the phone last night about this. He'd received some email from Dennis Noyes and it sounds like it's very much true. Rossi wanted 8 mil and some imput, and Honda wouldn't have anything of it. Sounds like the parting was less then pretty. We'll see! I do think it would be good for the series though. I'm kind of a nae sayer when it comes to Rossi's winning ability as he rides and probably has a more superior machine than the rest, including the other Honda's.

There is know doubt that Rossi is a very talented rider but his claims that he can win on bikes other than Honda is dubious at best.Signing with Yamaha I believe is not the best thing he could do.Ducati maybe.Seems to me that it's all about the money for Rossi.I mean really, whether it's 7 or 8 million does it really matter?

I bet Yamaha will start winning races. Too bad he won't ride for Kawasaki.

They need a hell of alot more than Rossi! They need Santa Clause to get a new suspension/motor/chassis/tire combo! I think. At least some of their umbrella girls look a bit narly!!

I have heard that Yamaha is serious about putting together a winning Moto GP team. I guess this is a good first step.

yamaha has made consistent gains towards the podium
witness the most recent race
they may have had their heads up their butts for a while
they will get it together
suzuki is still struggling
as well as KHI
proton & petronas still developemental
in some ways a rider might make a difference
many times not especially if its his 1st season on the bike
if rossi goes to the yamaha camp
he could easily be confounded
until they start to work together & jell
doesnt hurt that the rider wouldnt be a negative factor
still if honda is smart they will keep him & match any offer
gibernau ran with him all season
biaggi had several good races
& the Ducati boys have little to complain about
in their 1st full season
it will start to get crowded at the top
which is a good thing
now they need to get 600(650cc) underclass going in motoGP
have a world spec in for both 650 & 1000cc bikes
so riders can be recognized & transfer to motoGP
has been a long while that this many manufacturers have participated in GP racing
great for competition !!!
