If he wants out of motogp without upsetting Yamaha who have him contracted for another year it could be a good get out option.

However saying that maybe Rossi has a little get out clause in his contract already. He does seem a shrewd operator.

Please Rossi don't go to wsb just bow out of the sport and moto GP gracefully when you retire

Interesting thought Duke and I'm sure it would be a headache that Yamaha management would prefer not to have.

Don't they both have a contract for 2016 with Yamaha though ?

Maybe Rossi could switch to wsbk Yamaha and campaign their new R1

I cannot see Lorenzo and Rossi being in the same team next year and probably Rossi wont even be in Motogp next year.

Lorenzo is being badly advised by his lawyers they should have never submitted the request.

He needs to butt out and just be a good sportsman and professional about the matter.

If he is faster than Rossi he has nothing to worry about and should just do his talking on track.

To the best of knowledge Cav that is at the wheel. The 2016 zx10r is being quoted at 207 at the crank with ram air which I would say is around 185 at the back wheel. Add a full system and a powercomamder and I think 190 ish at the wheel is possible.

I must say at this point - I am ONLY a fan of Lorenzo's riding. His character and personality is immature and unprofessional (throwing toys out of the pram if he loses.. a lot like Lewis Hamilton in F1). It's the smoothness in ...

... happen out there. If everyone keeps their head and no DNF's I m going for 1 - Marquez 2 - Pedrosa 3 - Lorenzo Rossi is too hard to call but I'll say 5th or 6th which if he does and Lorenzo is third then Rossi is World Champion. I just hope its a good, fair and entertaining race (y)

... acquisition from Marc’s bike is available if anybody from Dorna, the FIM or media want to check.” Do you believe Marc is telling the truth when he says he wasn’t trying to slow down Valentino in Sepang? “I know Marc well. He is a good guy, with strong and honest values. Marc was just trying to ...

Totally agree Cav and its not a rant its dam good sense talking. Myself and my wife did the IAM many years ago as like you say should be the basic standard of driving not an advanced level. When it's time we will actively encouraging our children to do exactly the same.

... But there is an issue. People will commit petty crimes to gain money and it's those people who are more likely to use drugs, so it's easy to say drugs cause the crime. What is clear is that there is a criminal network for the importation and disposal of drugs. That's where the money is. Legalisation ...

Never mind as you say probably better to inconvenience a few.

... winning the appeal would be meaningless in terms of the 2015 season. What is the likely outcome of the request for suspension? It is very hard to say. Rossi has a case when he says that being forced to start from the back of the grid would cause him irreparable harm. However, that was precisely ...

What year Blade ?

Where do you think it is under performing ? Will help target the correct mods. Try and be specific don't just say suspension. Help with a little more detail. For example dives on the brakes, rebounds quickly coming off the brakes, back squats down etc.....

... into all the details there was a lot of cock ups in the rebooking process. I believe they are using the weather as an excuse in my case. As I say there is a crew, an aircraft and a clear runway and other flights taking off. I'm pretty pissed off tbh so not spending my day arguing with you ...
