I guess next year we get to see, once and for all if Rossi has lost it, or he is as hungry, skilled, and fast as ever when he gets a decent bike again.

Great news.
Wow I never thought Vale was a quitter.....
Dunno 'bout "pearler", but it didn't seem too far from the mark did it? I thought Bautista would have been a lot closer to the front on a Honda, yet he's been overshadowed by the Tech 3 boys and rookie Bradl in 2012, basically circulating where he was on the Suzuki. Hopper never really had "it", Bautista much the same, and Capirossi was past it.......makes you wonder how the good/bad the GSVR really was.

Makes you wonder eh? What are Ducati thinking??? They just won't ease up in terms of their bike
After having one of the best racers ever ride their bike for 2 years and lets face it fail rather miserably (when he left Yamaha he was doing well) and they still don't listen!!! They are so stubborn they still won't change!
well he always said he wanted to end his career with yamaha........ looks like he wasn't lying
