I was thinking they'd be throwing molotovs in the street

Id rather see him go to Suzuki to solidify his god-like status and make a shit bike a winner. Or better yet Kawasaki.

The race commentators tonight mentioned a rumour in the pits that Rossi has signed for Ducati and Stoner has signed for Honda. Rumours mind you..

The manufacturer, which welcomed Rossi with open arms in 2004, is now suffering badly from the economic crisis.  Last September, Yamaha fell well short of their forecasted sales figures.

The numbers are cold and indisputable. The crisis hit hardest in September, and things did not improve much after the end of the motorsports season which saw the factory win the MotoGP, WSBK, and Motocross titles with Valentino Rossi, Ben Spies and Antonio Cairoli. In other words: a disaster.

OMG, please just sign the damn thing.

I hadn't really focused on the Red Bull thing til they started talking about it this weekend.  Dovi to a factory Honda on the RedBull team with Stoner and Pedrosa at Respol.  That set-up would make the most sense:

Yami:  Lorenzo/Spies
Ducati:  Rossi/Hayden
Repsol:  Stoner/Dickhead McRobot
RedBull:  Dovi
Zuke:  whoever wants to be in last place.

The weird part is that would leave (I think) four factory Hondas on the grid.  But I don't know if Simoncellis has an HRC deal for 2012 too.

I'm wondering if Pintey McAssTard doesn't end up at Yamaha, alongside Lorenzo. That'd be amusing, especially if Puig comes along for the ride.
