I agree we are seeing a changing of the guard. I'm waiting another race to see if it was a Qatar thing, MM leg still injured etc. See if Rossi keeps it up.
If he does and Lorenzo get into it too its gonna be a great season! We couldnt ask for a better changing aye!!
Burgess said this! True enough to:
Amongst several revealing comments, the Australian mechanic said, “At the age of 35 Rossi won’t be gaining many new fans this season. Right now the 10 year-olds are putting up Marc Marquez posters on their bedroom walls.”
You could be wrong there this on the MotoGP site from his team boss
Marca: Yamaha will start Lorenzo and Rossi renewal talks soon
Friday, 21 March 2014
According to quotes from Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of the factory Yamaha team, in the Spanish newspaper Marca, the Japanese manufacturer want to keep Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi beyond this season and will start their contract renewal talks very soon.
Following the recent title sponsorship of the team as Movistar Yamaha MotoGP, Jarvis said of the two riders, "If possible we want to keep both of them. But it’s quite early in the season and we haven’t started talking to them about that yet. The talks will happen in the coming months, but that process will start within two or three races."
although hes still got the six race decision of his own yet
Burgess said this in the same interview about Rossi, “Valentino loves the whole process of going racing and enjoys the riding almost as much as winning.
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

Oh well, worth a crack! Not that there's a great deal of difference between that and Steinies... lol
He's probably fast enough to be worth that.........if he didn't crash so much, be interesting to see who's where at the end of the next race as that'll be a better indicator of who's on form this year than Doha with its low grip surface.
My money's still on Marquez for a repeat performance for the title though.

Yes Merv, and only a few have done that.
Funny but championships are secondary for me, I'm there for the racing and wins. Hence I spend a lot of dosh attending at least a race a year.
But of course I have my favourite and it doesn't matter he's not the current champ whatsoever. VALEEEEEEE ! Vai tu VALE po 'di bellezza.

Of course with the NASCAR-isation of the grid tht is what they are trying to attract. NASCAR Dads on ESPN. Thats why they MUST have some Yanks at or near the top. The last time any of them watched it was on "Wide World of Sports" and that young kid Kenny Roberts was being chased by that kid, whats his name? Spender? Spencer?QUOTE]
Make that 3 times today. MotoGP and the former (proper race bike) GP class 500GP, were/are attract a huge following here. Maybe not Spazcar numbers but still well subscribed to.
Why is Rossi worth the coin? Because he draws the interest. Hell knows, even though he may be having an average season, I spend more time reading news about him than any other rider. That said, I think MM is a jolt of fresh energy in the sport. Rossi was, is and will continue to be such a character in the sport. Be good to see what he can do this season. I would really love to see Stoner return. That guy would be a very cool cat to chuck in amongst the pigeons.
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
