How is life on the moon these days? In a nut shell, lorenzo is jealous that Vale is a icon and he is not Further, the world has not forgiven or forgot the spanish mafia him and that little dwarf did last year to award the championship to lorenzo On earth we kind have the same kinda situation between hamilton and rosberg Your team mate is always your #1 enemy,,,,,,,, Anyway Ducati came within 2s of winning, very satisfied with the work Gigi has done
yeah I know all that Mr Hatz....but something happened this weekend. Why was Lorenzo gesturing "keeping his mouth zipped"?
Not shore [tm. BlackJag] see what we can find out on the Italian press/websites Up to mind games perhaps?? Rossi needs to step it up, missing just a tiny bit, at his age he is cautious will he push the limit or not?
God you Rossi guys are insane, the Marquez conspiracy is so much fun because it infers that Marquez is so good that he can beat Rossi and control what Rossi does on the track. Rossi is just a big of an ****** as anyone else on the track, I love the "Rossi is perfection" attitude that comes out from fans though. Not sure if it's why Lorenzo made the gesture, but the most recent Rossi/Lorenzo info is that Lorenzo has a contract offer he has not yet signed from Yamaha, is talking to other teams (Ducati), but Rossi said in the press that "changing bikes takes balls, so he will remain". And that's the class act that Rossi is.
I am a 100% Rossi fanboi now and forever. Lorenzo should make the move, the Ducati is ready to win, a top tier rider would have won on it in that race, Dovi is not good enough, Innone could have got the job done, The Maniac!! If they can keep working on Stoner he might bite for next year Oh and i love the RS GP Aprilia, a bit slow at the moment but they are really working maximum to bridge the gap, KTM is back next year too, loving MotoGP

I made the mistake of watching MotoGP before F1. MotoGP made F1 look very boring. Good racing, as usual. and what a cluster **ck for Ducati on the last lap.
Nothing new there. part of me is glad that they were actually battling, but that was not a good move.
I should mention, it will be the same this weekend with the race in the USA (Circuit of the Americas). Thank god they go to Europe after that all the way until basically the end of the season, and with Japan, Oz and Malaysia, obviously no major time differences to worry about. And of course, only one USA race this year.

Would be good to see Rossi in the frame with Ducati and Suzuki making good pace for some great racing this year, bring it on.
And in news that's not yet officially news, did we hear the commentators mentioned that Lorenzo will be going off to Ducati next year. It's amazing how Yamaha have treated Lorenzo compared to Rossi. Yes, Rossi gave them 4 championships, but the last was 2009, and since then Lorenzo has given them 3. But I guess that the diehard fans love Rossi so much that they will make more money with him on the team, and Lorenzo isn't a big of a loss. Don't know how Lorenzo will go on the Ducati though, although it's obviously not the difficult bike when Stoner won on it.
I may be overstating, but I think the best example was "the wall" created back around 2010. When Rossi was champion, they kept the respective mechanics and data seperate, putting Lorenzo at a disadvantage unable to use Rossi data. But with the return of Rossi, and the ascension of Lorenzo during that time, the wall no longer exists and allows Rossi full access to improvements and data from the work of Lorenzo. It's perhaps not a matter of treating Lorenzo poorly, but it shows that they will do whatever it takes to ensure Rossi has as much advantage as possible. I just see it that Rossi is given advantages not offered to others, but he is the leading brand of MotoGP whether he is winning or not.
Very possible, but here's the reports from then and now: Fiat-Yamaha Erects a Wall in the MotoGP Garage - Asphalt & Rubber Lorenzo claims Rossi is ?even copying my gears? I agree that I may be reading too much into things like this, but I find it interesting. Hopefully the result will be some Ducati wins next year.
