My question is does Burgess come to Duc as well? That part of the deal? Rossi likes a challenge but keeping up with Jorge on like equipment has proven tough enough, now coming back from a bad break and giving up the tech?

Of course Rossi

has said he wanted to end his career on a Duc with an all Italian flair...

I can see Stoner jumping back to Honda and I can see Dovi losing hios seat. But Pedro has a nice bed of support in his corner...

I'm pretty sure wherever Rossi goes, he's taking his chief mech. He made a big deal about that when he left Honda.

It'll be interesting to see how a 3-seat line-up works out. I guess one factory Honda seat is rumored to be sponsored by Red Bull. Maybe Stoner will take that and they'll build him his own, private MotoGP track ala Shawn White's half-pipe. :lol:

Rossi to Ducati
Stoner to Honda
Spies to Yamaha Factory team
Pedrosa stays with Honda

These are all but carved in stone. The wild cards are Hayden, Edwards, Malandri, etc.... Oh and Rossi will be back well before the end of the season. Did you all know that this is the first time that Rossi has missed any races during his ENTIRE career? That's impressive!

14 years and 7 World Chamionships without missing a race.


Law of averages is a bitch aint it.

I thought that he had 9 championships...:idk:

Hell even he has probaly lost count. He has 1 500cc, 2 990cc, 2 800CC, and 2 250cc champs?? dunno if he has 125...

I like the way this article ends...

Loring as truck?!?!?

What? he won 3 championships for Honda, 4 for Yamaha and 2 for Aprillia... oh and other than his 1st year and most likely this year, he's never placed lower than 3rd in any championship. G O A T!!!

He does...1997 on the Aprilia...

He and Pedrosa are 2 of the only to have 125 and 250 championships...

remember back when i said ben and colin were on uncompetitive equipment?
:lol:
