    Worst-kept secret in MotoGP for a long time.

    Apparently Ducati offered him 70 million Euro to stay. I wonder how much of a pay cut the GOAT took to get back to winning status?

    And can he actually be in a team with Lorenzo again? I'd dearly love to see them throw aside their differences and produce two brilliant bikes of equal performance and let their riding do the talking. No more false walls in the Yamaha garage thanks...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    70 million? you mean 17? I think 70 million you could build a whole bike factory with.

    Not sure about the better bike part, but maybe the little fag has learnt to keep his yap shut about how other people set up their machines.

    My prediction, Lorenzo 2013 champion.
    Rossi can't beat him with mind games now. Lorenzo will turn up race after race lap after lap with smooth quick times and defend his 2012 crown (yep I said it)

    His riding style has won me over and I am a big fan now.

    It's gonna be a great season.

    Little fag? The guy is just short of six foot tall in the old language. I don't know about the other half, Alessio might?

    I reckon he missed his complimentary XJR1300 daily ride and is re-connecting with Yamaha to get it back


    Maybe he wants a bike that won't piss itself
