Rossi vs. Ducati...and more spoilers

[duccarlos]

Linkie now works. To be more precise, Yamaha made an offer for Rossi to return under their terms, be the #2 to Lorenzo. The article implied that Rossi practically begged Yamaha to come back. For most of the season the rumors were that he would go to Honda. I think that Yamaha's offer was a shot in the dark that just might have hit the bullseye. I personally think that Rossi will not pass up the opportunity to be competitive again. I see him running back to Yamaha.

Yep, it will be interesting.  Ofcourse Lorenzo is going to be unhappy but same time he will show off that he is #1 factory rider while Rossi is #2.  Too bad for Dovi then who will still be stuck at Tech3 while Cal moves to Ducati.  Hmm it will ve interesting.....

Derby, sort of...

MCN might have been a bit too premature, but they're already publishing a "Rossi to Yamaha" edition of their mag.

From Motomatters:

Thomas Baujard of @moto_journal has the scoop. MacKenzie spoke to Rossi at Yamaha's HQ in Amsterdam. He's signed the deal. Good job Tom!

He's claiming 2 years in GP and 2 in SBK...
