    Rossi to Honda?

    Flick through a few pages until you reach the article: GP Week
    "Once you can have people more frightened of disorder than tyranny, it enables you to do almost anything you like so far as legislation is concerned." Chief Judge Antoinette Kennedy, 26/3/2010.

    "The State must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation." Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf

    So he can't win on the Ducati and decides to bail on them breaking his contract in the process.
    If this is true, he really is a petulant little child, isn't he.

    The last bit of respect I have for Rossi will vanish if he does this

    I would hate Honda more than Rossi if they accept him:

    He bails at his prime, to prove a point, them when he gets his arse handed to him by a gp preschooler (yorgay- as he would call him) he moves for more money, cant do what that little Aussie brat he so despises can, so goes and grovels at honda's feet... Kick him in the teeth while he's there Honda, youve already got 1-3 future champs on seats.
    season 2012 is coming.....

    I guess his ambition outweighs his loyalty as well as his talent.
    They misunderestimated me.

    Don't forget, this is all speculation and the pits are always rife with it.
    I do hope it's true though.

    Yep - believe it when you see it.

    Be interesting to see what he does if Jerry decides he's had enough and wants to spend time with his family.
    His options are drying up all around him. Would've thought he could take a year off then hit Yamaha up for a SBK ride, but not at the moment. Cant really see Honda wanting him back after the way he left them and they've gotta be pretty happy with Stoner at the moment. Sort of sounds like he's running out of talent. He He...

    he would never ever do that. He more than anybody knows that he is out of his prime and cant match the youthful determination of the new generation on the same machinery.. imho that was the reason he left Yamaha. Dont get me wrong, i love rossi and think he is the greatest rider ever to have lived and believe is still a contender for wins over a race distance (maybe one more title before he retires) but given we have nearly 4 other contenders for wins in the younger more exciting riders, one of them is bound to step up on the day and take more chances.

    it would be his demise if he did anyway.. sortof chumacher-esc.

    Put an 'S' in front of it it Jim.

    It would be interesting to see Marco try to deal with the Ducati if they cant get that chassis sorted out for 2012.

    Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a fucking Indian.

    better off going to SBK oh wait, next year they will have no frames as well. they should put a hossack front end on the DD ala the Britten for more sideways flex when cranked over without losing fore-aft rigidity.
    Hossack-Design.co.uk :: Design and Theory
    why you go for a frameless bike and then fit forks to it is beyond me.
    Hub-center steering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Tony Foale Designs, article on motorcycle alternative front suspension systems.

    tony foale is regularly contract by factory to assist in bike geometry, so i expect he knows what he talking about.
