[sugilite:Me]

Jerry "Umm, yeah, Valentino, I was thinking of hanging up my spanners year after next, settle down with the wife, enjoy life a little, relax. I've been a long time on the road my loyal and trusted friend"
Valentino "Yeah Jerry, I understand, you have been instrumental in helping me win my multiple championships, I can never thank you enough for your years of sacrifice, especially in these later years after my making shit decisions and the waning of my desire to do what it takes to win"

Nek Minute at the following days press conference....
Valentino "I've decided to give Jerry the boot, because NO BITCH LEAVES VALINTINO, sob, sob, sob, YOU FUCKING HEAR ME CUNTS, NO BITCH EVER, EVER LEAVES VALINTINO, VALINTINO ALWAYS LEAVES THE BITCH YOU FUCKING MOTHER FUCKER BURGESS, YOU FUCKING HEAR ME!!! sob, sob, sob".

Have now ! I'm confused as to what "work in another way" is ???

Maybe he wants his old M1 back ??? (not the Horhay one ??)

[Crasherfromwayback]

So the worlds best development rider thinks getting a new crew chief will help him ride better than he's obviously able to eh? Tui!!!!!!!

[BMWST?]

i think he realises that he has lost his edge.Or needs to find it again,maybe he thinks a new crew cheif will make him less comfortable

I wonder how many times after qualifying, that Burgess has found Rossi that 100th he needs to win in morning warmup? Thanks for all your help Jerry!

There are several things about all this that I don't understand.

The team has been unable to find a consistent setting that will give Rossi the front end feel he needs. It's not like Burgess was the sole source of potential solutions though, they have Ohlins and Brembo reps on hand as well as Yamaha engineers, it's hard to see why they haven't found an answer.

GP bikes are reputedly much more adjustable than SBK machines. I'da thunk an SBK crew chief might have had a steep learning curve when Rossi needs a guy who can be up to speed very quickly. If Rossi were to come right half way through the season it'd probably already be too late, Smith or Espagero will already have been lined up to take his seat.

Yamaha might not be too unhappy at a situation like that, Rossi would be free to ride the new R1 in SBK in 2015.

Ah well, looking forward to the race anyway...

And that poll isn't even close.

I always knew certain Kiwi's were instrumental in MotoGP, just didn't realise so many of them posted in this thread.

How often did Michelin make him new tyres overnight to engineer a race win ? Didn't stop him shitting on them at short notice to get on to the Bridgestones. Shat on Gibernau, shat on Honda, shat on Yamaha.....same old stuff...

Mike Sinclair still lurking in CHCH......

And still they love the greaseball.

i guess he is 80% of the problem and he can't sack himself......

Burgess is not a man to mince his words and once expounded his famous "80/20" theory: In a motorcycle race, the contribution of the rider is 80% and that of the bike is 20%. This was despite the belief of Honda management that even a middle-ranking rider could win on their Grand Prix machinery. Rossi's successful move to Yamaha at a time when Honda reputedly had the best bike in MotoGP would seem to have proved the veracity of Burgess' theory, although it is also important to note that Rossi was accompanied by Burgess and some of his team.In post-season 2010, Rossi signed a two year contract with Ducati for the 2011 and 2012 seasons and once again convinced Burgess to be part of his team. Burgess also transferred most of his crew, mainly Australians and New Zealanders.
