          I remember watching him on 250(Lorenzo vs Dovi),bloody awsome

          Casey vs Bautista, I guess Bautista was very late on brakes.

          About lorenzo, he seemed smooth,but top speed is more than Dani's so i guess Dani was riding very smooth.
          Lorenzo was hammading(hehe)
          Bautista tried to keep stoner behind him but Stoner outbreaked in that turn which caused him to slid over Bautista but thank god both didnt go into gravel....
          And in the final lap Hayden showed his experience but Bradl was desperate to take the podium which made Hayden's race a disaster but good drive in the end by Hayden to keep the bike away from gravel.....

              so keeping in mind, the riders that have renewed their contracts...
              jLo... Yamaha factory
              Dani... HRC
              Marquez... HRC
              Smith... Tech 3
              Bradl... LCR

              that leaves the Yamaha factory spot open for Nicky, Cal, Dovi or Vale.

              hmmmmmm!!!

              The way I see it... it's going to be an Italian affair.

              • Wow. Thats sad........
                I think he had the same issue that Toni and Team LCR were having. Not sure but seems like it.
                Hope he gets a Honda.

                Now, any news from Tavullia

                Edit:
                PS:- Is Bradley's contract confirmed??

                  • i think, rossi will stay with ducati.

                    why will yamaha want him ? they have a rider who will win championship next year and year after, coz for next two years honda does not have a rider who can win championships. left is only factory ducati team, and everybody knows the situation.

                    another way of thinking, why will rossi want to win couple of races or even championship before his retirement, he has alreadyw in championships in sufficient numbers, instead he will desire to create history, and history will be created if he wins on ducati.

                    i think rossi might take some more time to decide and see if there is any scope of improvement, specially with audi coming into picture.

                    even audi will not like rossi to move away from ducati, since he is backed by sponsors with really deep pockets. if rossi moves away, even ducati will be in trouble.

                      Yamaha's not in need of Rossi..it's the sponsorship he brings along. there's even a rumor out in one of the articles that Rossi already has an offer from Yamaha and bringing a sponser along who can pay for his crew as well is one of the clauses. Rossi doesn't look in the need of creating history anymore..he's reaching his limits of staying off podium. I can understand how he would feel struggling to get near the podium being a multiple world champion.
                      He's won many championships, but he's still not number one. He once expressed he wanted to win same number of premier titles as Agostini. I personally want him be be one up

                      Ducati wants him cos he brings big bucks along and they seem him as the only one who can help them build a long term competitive bike.

                      but right now it's not about who want's rossi, it's more about what rossi wants

                      • even his fans like me are not happy to see him that long out of podiums, and he himself must be feeling terrible.

                        but i can manage myself till next season, only if i am assured of a really competitive bike next season, and i think he will also be feeling same.

                        ok, what do you guys think, in one word, next season rossi will be on a yamaha or ducati???

                              @princesirohi - I second your thought. Even I feel that he will stay with Ducati. I feel that now at this stage Rossi is not looking for winning just another championship with Yamaha next year. Instead I feel he wants to end his career on a real high by creating some history. However, I hope that all the improvements being expected and talked upon regarding the current GP12 (read - new engine parts etc) that will be seen eventually on the next year's GP13 as well , just prove to be exactly what Rossi demanded for all this long. The Mugello result has definitely given some hopes. I am so dying to see him pushing and fighting for the top spot. Fingers crossed. Let's see what happens this weekend at the US GP in Laguna.
