    I think like we saw Stoner do he's got his head around what he needs to do and how two to do it in reference to his riding and championship aspirations.

    Dutchee, did you not watch Horhay in his earlier years ? In 250 he was special and World Champ. G.

    speaking of a Pasta take over.....the list of Spanish riders in the lower classes makes you wonder what the GP will look like in a few years.....most of the names are un pronounceable now.....

    Not exactly what I was wanting to read but...

    Of course he could be holding out for more money, but he must be getting pissed-off with all the travel and he's probably not exactly hard up.

    The all Italian "family" might make him an offer he can't refuse

    Good one.

    I read an interview with Burgess a while back where he basically said that he was unaware Rossi had made it a condition of his move to Yamaha that Burgess and crew went with him. Burgess laughingly said that had he known, he'd have hung out for more money.

    We can assume that if the circumstances were similar this time he would know. So it would be natural for him to be "undecided" during the contract negotiations.

    It would seem though that there is a real possibility that he may call it quits and head for home.

    Home to the Adelaide hills would be a good bet. If he does he's had a great career.
    He has said he might put someone on a bike back home. G

    But he tries soooooo hard with his post win celebrations. Maybe OTT.

    Don't get me wrong but it's a little copy cat eh ?

    I totally admire his riding.

    Two years ago I said this about Burgess http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...38#post1773438

    That man is good except now (assuming Rossi can't win this year) his tally will be 13 championships at the top level in 24 years so he's still averaging better than 50%. Not many crew chiefs could match that record. Probably time he's owed a rest back in Oz working with new talent.
    Cheers

    Take Lorenzo's dick out of your mouth so you can see clearly what the other posters are saying. Burgess and co and Rossi made the M1 into what it is today, a class beating championship winning machine. Just by riding the damn thing Lorenzo is benefiting from their setup. Which begs the question, could Lorenzo and his crew have done the same?
