Answer 1

yamaha will definitely not give better equipment to lorenzo. quoting one guy from the yamaha team this year:

"that was valentino rossi, if anybody had a doubt"--on him winning in assen.

it shows their confidence and respect for the doctor. plus! i hear lorenzo's got a bit of attitude! so boo to that.

Answer 2

No. Lorenzo will be on his own team, and unless he comes right out of the box and winning he will just be a blip on Rossi's screen. Do you think Yamaha would give him better equipment than Rossi? NFW

Answer 3

This is great news.

Its been on the table for a while now. His performance in this years 250 championship is just amazing. He has not had any problems really all year. A few spills, but thats it.

Tough to say if he will get his own team, Im sure (sadly) he will replace Colin #5.

Whatever team he is in, its going to be another storming year!

Answer 4

Fireworks, definately!

Handbags at dawn and bunfights at tea!

It's gonna be great racing for sure.

I don't think the puppy will phase the the big dog though!
