As far as Yamaha is concerned, who do they really want? I think Rossi does have the bigger name, and is an overall more well rounded rider capable of placing n a more consistat basis, even Lorenzo might be faster hes not as good as Rossi, nor does he have as big of a name

yeah but if they win with lorenzo it looks like the bike did it not rossi
