Friend of mine works for Dorna, he's the one that chooses the replays we see on TV. He's got me paddock passes for Silverstone for the weekend, so I'll be watching it from there. I'd like to see Rossi get back to the top.
lucky f**k*r, hook us up, its my missus birthday, haha. Can only afford a day  :angry:

With rossi i think its a case of 'if it aint broke.....' but then i dont know the actual reason hes gone to ducati? Have been neglecting the motogp but then again i can never be arsed staying in on weekends  :grin:

Its about his time to give up now, hes had his run just like the schumacher days

But i have sky+ power now  :smiley:

And another one hoping clutchlow has a good season!

I think Rossi really wants to do it on Ducati, so from what i understand he's gonna be going for another 3 seasons i think. We can only hope.

He will be the only gp rider ever to win the motogp championship on 3 different manufactures.

But rossi has been on Honda and destroyed everyone.

There must come a point when winning gets boring so you decide to make a winning bike instead?

It's what Schumacher did with Ferrari. He went there when they were nothing and won 5 consecutive titles with them. The same as Alonso and Renault.

Ducati already did have a winning bike though, Stoner was the only one who could win on it though. Rossi had been with Yamaha since 2004 and won 4 championships with them. It was time for a change, especially as Lorenzo had come in and won in 2010. Ducati and Rossi are the "dream" pair, it's just a shame it's a bit like Ferrari and Alonso, neither of the teams can give the pilots good enough machinery.

stoner won it on a different chassis, Rossi has never rode the bike with the same chassis. Even caparossi used to win on that  ducati.
stoner wasn't the only one who could ride the bike. It totally changed after he won the championship.
