I keep my word: Valentino will retire from the sport in the end of 2008, if he's not going to be WC next year
RIP Marco Simoncelli

I think that too, Corny. After his MotoGP adventures, he would be more in rallying.

Rossi doesn't really need MotoGP anymore, he's won several championships and won with Yamaha to underline the fact that it wasn't just because he was riding the best bike all along.

The only reason this story is getting any coverage at all is because there is NOTHING else to talk about.
Once Rossi is out testing with everyone else focus will switch back to the tire talk. That said, if Rossi comes out kicking ass on the Bridgestones but still suffering from horse power the Ducati concept will become interesting again.
It is however pointless conversation because Rossi is signed with Yamaha and they are currently his only option until the foreseable future.go speed racer go

I call complete BS on any notion that Casey had some 'HUGE' advantage this year and Michelin has had some 'HUGE' advantage in the past.
It is just how things are in the manufactering and development environment. When you are building prototypes everything is in a constant stage of evolution. Being further along in the evolutionary process does not mean you have a 'HUGE' advantage. It means you did a better job. period.
It's a shame Dunlop won't be around next year. Their evolutionary progress after jumping into MotoGP has been as progressive as Bridgestone. They could have only been 2 or 3 years away from a world championship.go speed racer go

Try asking the Rossi die hards that still vainly attempt to put down Caseys and Ducatis efforts just why he was so much quicker than the other Ducati and BS riders this year and be prepared to watch the endless tumble weeds blowing down the desolate and dusty windy streets while waiting for any sort of serious response#1 #7 #13
