MotoGP 2008 up in flames already ......?

Question

This report: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2007/Oct/071020b.htm from Julian ( sado god like ) Ryder makes very interesting reading.

Will Vale jump contract mid contract? Who knows, but Yammy better pull there fuking finger out if they want the championship for 2008.

Answer 1

Vale is not happy... But how can he be?! Yamaha are making him look ridiculous for staying with them! I wonder if he and Lorenzo will stay in the team for 2009. I know that Rossi won't change the team for the next season but I'm sure he'll make sure that Yamaha will improve their bikes!

Answer 2

Maybe he is just lining up his excuses before he goes to 4 wheels.

could be.    Interesting.

Answer 3

I hope he doesn't jump ship. Yes Yamaha have got work to do, but fundamentally it's still a good machine. Everyone in the Paddock (including Vale) has been saying that it's the best bike round the corners.

I must admit that I've lost a little respect for Rossi during the last couple of months or so. Things aren't going his way, and he's thrown his teddy in the corner. I've said it before. When he had those specially made, Saturday night special tyres......How much of an advantage did he really have? It's beginning to look like it was more than most people realised!

He needs to stop whining and knuckle down with Yamaha, Jeremy Burgess and whatever tyre manufacturer he's going with, and get the whole package back to where it once was.

Only then will he go back up in my estimations.

Incidentally, if as looks the case he goes with Bridgestone, I think he's made a huge mistake. If Lorenzo beats him on the same bike with Michelin's, it's gonna make him look stupid.

If he does jump ship, I reckon he's going rallying. Can't see him going to Ducati after some of the things he's said about them in the past.

Just have to wait and see.
