will it make you feel good?

maybe....

I also think that if this happened...Rossi would be bored and seriously think about pulling up stakes and going to another more stable type of racing or product for 2010, as would a few other riders making WSBK field of riders even more interesting looking!

problem is, many other series are suffering also.  honda is out of F1, toyota is rumored to be next.  in rossi's most likely next profession, WRC, suzuki and subaru are already out.  Ford cup?

besides, then fiat/yamaha would be paying him millions of dollars to sit or do something else.

No news is good news:

Still, there's lots of time yet before the start of the season.

Team Green pulls up stakes....

[zooom]

actually...correction...it isn't a cup yet...but if this keeps up it soon will be!

[GregP]

Looks like Hopper may never get that elusive MotoGP victory. 

Spies' move to WSBK looks a lot safer/smarter with all this news.

MotoGP just became a Cup series...

So the competition will be between Honda, Yamaha, Ducati and on a rare occasion Suzuki?  How is that any different than what we have already?

How is that any different than what we have already? 

less bikes on the grid and a less populated track...less excitement....I mean..sometimes it is fun to watch the tail end of the grid fight for 14th place afterall.
