"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.

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.
haha somehow i won't be surprised if it happens
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.

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...

But we do love a good rumour..
Do we ever. How long before we here a BMW, Kwaka, Suzi rumour.

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.

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

takes an aussie to ride a real bike, poor mr rossi cant handle it lol
hey stoner, give him your seat on that drive it itself bike and get back on a real one!!

Maybe Mamola can give Rossi a ride...

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.

why you go for a frameless bike and then fit forks to it is beyond me.

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