Another Valentino Rossi question (MotoGP)?

How about the G.O.A.T doing a Freddie Spencer MotoGP and Moto2 Champion in the same year.

After all it would be safer than closing the curtains. How fast were they going when he crashed?

Can't see it happening but as Girl Racer says expect the unexpected.

ZZoli, I must have been sleeping the year MotoGP raced 1400's, were they fast?

Hello Proc I think Valentino Rossi is a bit upset at Yamaha, but not upset enough to leave the team any time soon. I guess his recent rant about Yamaha signing Lorenzo back, is just a signal to his bosses saying "be careful". Yamaha wants Rossi to be remembered as a Yamaha rider, so for them the best scenario would be Valentino staying two more seasons and getting Ago´s record. During these years he could expect a tough challenge from his teammate (Lorenzo and perhaps Spies) so the fact that Yamaha offered "equal" treatment to Lorenzo, was not the best bit of news to Vale, specially as Jorge is benefiting of Valentinos ´bike development. Neither the fact that Spies was expected to switch to MotoGP in 2011, and the rumor mill now says 2010. This things can get in the way when looking for Agostini´s record. As Ducati goes, they for sure want to be Champions again, but recently they failed at luring Pedrosa or Lorenzo, as their bike is not regarded as a one with Champion potential, so I reckon bringing Rossi would be very difficult... however... ...the most important factor I think will be what Valentino wants, and that, we know can change in the next few years, We now he wants to be Champion again, that he wants Ago´s record, but also know he loves the challenge. Ducati might get him, by offering him a great bike, on his own terms, JB included, good money, and an absolute number one status in the team to guarantee the most wins possible for him. Ducati is a small team and company (compared to others) but financially is not that small. Has quite a few good sponsors. I wouldn´t mind that experiment at all. I´m 100% possitive he can ride and win with the red beast.

You see - the thing is with Vale - not only is he THE World's Greatest Motorcycle Racer - he's also an unpredictable one too !!

There are no impossibities for Valentino - expect the unexpected !!!!

(LOL) He DOES talk a lot too ! - Hardly surprising when you think how many people actually want to listen to such a Genius Legend !

It's a GooD JoB everything that he does have to say - IS backed up once on the track !! He could, otherwise end up sounding like a bit of a KNOB really - would you not agree CHRISTINA ? - (I'm sure your Dad will anyway) !!

AND talking of KNOB's - I do believe we've found the ultimate here in Mr. ZZOli - What a fine introduction you make of yourself dear !!

Mr. Rossi is a born racer AND not just for financial purposes -

There's the fun and challenging aspects too -

I think that he'd be just as happy to participate in any race - regardless of vehicle, class or speed - if that's where the racing competition is - that's where Rossi's gonna be !!!

i wou;dn't be that suprised if he did. He's mentioed several times about just doing two more seasons in MotoGP and then moving on, maybe to rallys or maybe WSB, but in two years the Moto2 will be on the go so he could easily go there, which would do wonders for the credibility and popularity of the new class. It'd be the best possible stamp of approval and promotion they could ever have by having Vale ride in the first season or two. Then he could move over to Rallying and win everything there.

I like the idea of him doing a Freddie Spencer but i suppose that'd dependa lot on Yamaha runnign equivalent bikes in both classes. But with Vale anything could happen.

Hi Proc

Part of me says no, he wouldn't do that. But another part also thinks that the Motogp2 series might take over as the premier class.

With the 800's disappearing up their own hoop (in my opinion), the 600's look like quite an interesting alternative. I just hope some of the more obscure engine manufacturers get involved, like Ilmore & Rotax. That will keep the Flammini brothers happier.

It would be great to see different combinations of engine and chassis. Like Rotax/Spondon, Ilmore/Harris, Bimota/Proton (any combination)

If that happens, then it's a distinct possibility.

Hi Proc

I don't´think so.

If he has considered WSBK is because MotoGP is risking his status as the world top Motorcycle Racing Category, and to race Troy as a personal challenge

Valentino wants and should race only where the best bikes and riders are.

I do not feel Valentino Rossi would take a step back to the 600's ~

MotoGP rocks I can't wait till it starts, I really missed it during the winter ~

Yeah, I think he might.

Why not.

He could win another title on MotoGP, then jump to WSB. Win that in his first year, then once the Moto2 class is all set up, have a go with that.

That would be 6 different class world titles along.

He might as well. He would have nothing to loose by doing it.

[ yes it would be like Valentino to want to be the first champion in the new 600 class, i think firsts and lasts are what he likes...did you hear about him falling through a glass top table, while closing the curtains and needing stitches to his hand and foot,.... or did i dream that....<^><..

i rekon we might see the great valentino into other forms of sport soon maybe rally cars or formula 1 as he has been testing things like this
