Not all Silly Season content, but a big part of it:

I'd say from that, the box next to Rossi for the next two years will have a #26 on it.

And there was a bit of discussion about Jonathan Rea.  [beer]

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Not confusing to me.

The rags are saying he's signed, Suppo is saying Dani and his lawyer say no, and Meregali isn't saying.

All it means is someone is lying.

Or that rumor & hyperbole is near out of control at this point in the season and is reflective of the current "sound bite" news that the press is trying to pass off as real news.  Everyone wants to be first to report whatever folks want to perceive as "truth".  None of it really means squat at this point. Now... it may mean something substantive in the near future but it's only "fun grist" at this point.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

This year we've gone from silly to idiotic. It started with the Yamaha boys and it's gone down hill from there. It's obvious that the teams were not ready to start negotiating. Ducati were lucky when they jumped on Jorghey when they guessed that he would not be happy that Rossi accepted his deal for another 2 years. Things have gone nutty ever since.

Good on him though... always liked Rea and while I would have loved to see him in MotoGP, I'd rather see him competing at the pointy end in WSBK.

Indeed.
I think he used up all of his good luck in the process of getting off the donkey.  :-\

+1 Why consider moving to a satellite bike in MotoGP when you're leading the championship on arguably the best bike in WSBK?

So now this is truly silly. Both guys that everyone thought would jump into Yamaha seem to be staying put. First, is the prospect of being Rossi's teammate so bad that no one wants to ride the best bike on the grid? Second, who is the third choice? I presume that whomever is dropped from Ducati would have the inside line. Yamaha would become an all Italian team!
