Lorenzo, i'll buy him!
You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did

If he does come 2nd in the championship or even wins it i think they she should at-least get $25 Million and Rossi be demoted to only $30 million.... He's an awesome rider, i love Rossi in the fact of the "rider" but i do not lie the person beneath the helmet. I think they should re consider Rossi's wages, plus Rossi might be leavingYamaha refuses bidding war for Lorenzo

Yamaha will not get involved in a bidding war with Honda over the services of Jorge Lorenzo for 2010, the Japanese manufacturer has said, amid heightened speculation over the future of the Spanish rider.
Rumours emerging in Laguna Sena suggested that Lorenzo is in talks with Honda about a switch to them for next year, even though he says that remaining at Yamaha is his priority.
Yamaha is aware of the situation, but its boss Masao Furusawa has made it clear that the company will not stretch itself financially to try and keep hold of Lorenzo.
"We are interested in Jorge," Furusawa told Gazzetta dello Sport. "We are in talks but we know about Honda's offer: if he wants to go with them, we won't be raising our stakes in order to retain him."
Lorenzo insisted over the weekend that there was no firm offer from Honda yet, although he did not deny that discussions had taken place.
"At the moment Yamaha is the first option: I'd like to stay here. We are talking," he explained. "There is no offer [from Honda], but I can't say whether some discussions are taking place. I can say that at the moment, with nothing signed, my manager and I are open to anything."
So maybe Yamaha need to think before they open there mouth?racechick wrote:Rossi leading Whoa!Not by allot, if he makes a major mistake like in previous races

In which some of you on here revert to as a 'God' so.... He obviously is amazing and never lost what he had, he just had a hard time switching in which is understandable! i think as soon s he gets to grip with his 69* mean machine we will see him winning and dominating the circuit! It's just Stoner is an awesome rider! he always has been and always will be! Ducati know him very well, so the bike will be fine tuned perfectly to his liking

Lorenzo will get a pay hike but wont get more than Rossi.And i won't be supporting him if he goes to Honda thats for sure.
About Hayden,he was lucky [a little to much] to win the 2006 title.Rossi crashed in that last race and Pedrosa crashed Hayden in the penultimate race. and rarely won races.But he was the champion,but just not an impressive one.
Lorenzo is not yet ready,he isn't a complete rider.Laguna is the most difficult track on MotoGP,mostly because 125 and 250 don't race there,and the riders that are there don't have that much experience over there,Thats why Lorenzo crashed last year over there too.People coming from 250's find it difficult to adjust.Talmaschi went of as well.
I'll be surprised if Rossi doesn't win this season with all his competitors i'll,sick or injured.[not his fault though.]
But with Hayden? I think he's talented no doubt, but is lacking confidence within the team. Rossi did crash out, but as i said. Luck pays off in majority in all sports, & Rossi was not destined to win that race or title. I think if Lorenzo has this injury and is restricting him then Rossi might wrap this up, but with the performance Jorge showed us last race i still believe he is in the running DOOOMKULTUS wrote: Lorenzo is not yet ready,he isn't a complete rider.Laguna is the most difficult track on MotoGP,mostly because 125 and 250 don't race there,and the riders that are there don't have that much experience over there,Thats why Lorenzo crashed last year over there too.He got pole and raced to 3rd with a broken collar bone i would say he did pretty well at Laguna given his circumstances!
