I hope it happens, find me a picture, where he's on the duke, with nearly his elbow on the floor (without crashing) and looks happy and confident?

It hasn't worked, the sooner he's on a Yamaha again, the better for me.

Good - o. It's not worked. Ducati haven't given him the tools to do the job. Just draw a line and move on.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeext!!!

Could he be on a Honda? :)

No, no he could not. That's simply NOT going to happen. EVER.

As much as I want to Rossi back at the sharp end on the field, I'm a little bit gutted he couldn't manage it on the Ducati.

well thats not really a story is it? Thats just further speculation. I think we're all just a little bit anxious, like a 5 year old waiting for christmas day

something in the air isnt right about this, ie he had 46 wins at yamaha it was meant to be that way.

i wish suzuki would come along an offer him a contract

+1 on the suzuki! That way he could still win on 3 different manufacturers

pyndman, everything is pointing towards this being essentially a done deal. About fucking time, maybe now we can talk about bike again. Instead of how shite it's become lately.

Will be great to see Lorenzo and Rossi going head to head on the same bikes again.Since Rossi left Yamaha Lorenzo has matured into one of the most tactically aware riders in Moto GP and despite his Championship and consistently excellent results has always seemed in the shadow of Stoner and Rossi in the public's eye.
I'd have thought sticking to Tech 3 for another season would have been better for Crutchlow's career unless ducati have something a lot more competitive up their sleeve for next season.

Still waiting for answers from the Fat-Lad

If Ducati had something up their sleeve to make the bike more competitive for next season and they are NOT bringing it forwards. They are even dimmer than I thought.

So that "hacked" twitter account was done by some in the know then?

"Done deal! A well known Italian will definitely be on a blue bike next year, woo hoo!"

or someone who's crystal ball works very well indeed.

Is this new Bikes or all sales?
Don't forget that prices of new Japanese bikes have shot up over the last couple of years,a new 600 Hornet now costs something like £6500 on the road.Not that long ago the kind of bike I'd consider buying new....not at that price,not least with the savage depreciation we're expected to live with these days.Lovely bike but to my mind at least not a 6 Grand + bike.I know it's not the manufacturers fault,the Yen is high and the Japs didn't have the advantage of Gordon Brown's financial expertise to crash their currency but the fact are that even stuff like the Hornet,Bandits,XJ600s etc is now out of my price range at current new prices

@anie, it would be new bikes.

Crutchlow would be wise to stay at Tech 3, or even better, take the Gresini Honda seat if possible. Imagine riding the GP12 knowing that any minute the fronts going to fall away from you, even when upright...

pyndman

08/08/2012 at 14:59

totally agree geerno...even when upright, exactly, who the fuck would ride that?

Pagik

08/08/2012 at 15:14

If the reports are to be believed. Dovi, and Nicky Hayden. But we already knew about Nicky.

pyndman

09/08/2012 at 10:39

Dovi? Seriously? I dont think thats a good move for him. But monster bringing Brad Smith up pushes him out I guess. Anyway, i wonder what sponsor rossi will bring. Thats what they'll be working out before the announcement Id say.
