i agree, but im curious to see what paul bird can do with factory backing and decent riders, and if the rumors about the 2011 10r are true...

I was thionking the same thing, this is advanced negotiating tactics, making his disspleasure with Yamaha team setup known to negotiate a few extra dollars.

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 Lorenzo is winning on the bike that Rossi built. How would he do without Rossi/Burgess as lead developers.
I think Lorenzo has gotten on a gravy train, and he should be careful about how he treats the conductors.

While I think Rossi is by far the best rider, Lorenzo IS the future of Yamaha. How many years does Rossi have left in MotoGP? Let Rossi go, move Spies in to his spot.

Troy Bayliss won the WSBK championship at 38 last year. Rossi is 30. He will have a ride in MotoGP as long as he wants to ride.

Mladin is 37.
Duhamel is 41.
Crevier is 45.

No reason why he can't continue for another couple of years.

I was gonna say drop Lorenzo...add Spies but Rossi wouldn't like that either if Spies starts rocking.

What about the rumors that Rossi will leave GP all together when his contract is up. It's no secret he wants to race 4 wheels.

Drop a multi-time world champ, with 5-6 GREAT years left in him, and make a kid, who's an awesome rider but has never been champ, your #1. Just doesn't make sense. Its not like Rossi is washed up and ready to be put out to pasture, HE WON THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP THE LAST TWO YEARS.

If some of you had brains, you'd be dangerous weapons.
