I did not see that coming...there was that blurb a lil while back about Yamaha trying to court him when the Melandri move was announced, but he has/had a 3 year contract and Davide himself was quoted as reinforcing that...

HUH???

Man, I wish I'd been born in Indonesia, Russia or Brazil.  I could get a GP ride in no time.  All have large populations, a lot of corporte $ and no representation in GP.  I'd be set, even if I ran 30 seconds a lap slower than everyone else.

"by mutual consent with immediate effect"

why does that sound like...

"blahblahblah  blah blah" to me?

no kidding.  then again, "consent" is a fairly fluid concept...

[laugh].. exactly.  even if you get kicked out of the room, the fact that you walked through the door under your own power could be construed as 'consent'  =)

They've been saying that for a while.  Curious that they're basically gonna put back together a team that was plagued by technical problems and DNFs during their WSBK run. That said, a lot of that was teething for the new R1, particularly the electronics.  And once Woody showed up, things started looking up.

exactly.  they won on the first iteration of a vastly different bike.  ...then again, he had no problem with the 2008 either.  

besides, look at what cal says about that bike this year, and it's up 10+hp from 2009.  it's a pregnant dog to get that thing right.  frankly i think jt kinda got suckered, like so many GP08 riders.

as a team manager he got his rider what he needed to take the championship... sounds like he did his job.  ;D

I know, I know.  I'm just sayin' that the team didn't win it the easy way.   They're lucky they had The Ben as a rider, cuz the bike wasn't helpin' 'em much.
