Nicky and Valentino were team-mates at Honda at one point in time.

I'm curious to see if Rossi and Burgess can work with the Ducati. It's broken nearly everyone who's tried to ride it competitively....though it has been somewhat "tamed" since they switched to the big bang firing order motor.

Well, they did it for Yamaha....that bike was impossible to win on too...according to Biaggi anyway.

True enough....

I heard that Rossi is bringing his entire garage. Burgess...and all of his mechanics. I like his loyalty to those guys...and I like the fact that he has the "pull" to make it happen...you want me to ride your bike? Fine...pay me....and hire my boys. Or fuck off. Your choice.

It was a 990 screamer in 2002 when max rode the thing, they went crossplane shortly after vale showed up *edit, according to wikipedia it was also carbed

Viva la 2011!!! Everyone is going to be seeing red, everywhere. Wonder how much yellow Rossi will mix with that? Hayden and Rossi will be great together, just like at HRC and I think Hayden's results will improve IF they share development.
