Finally the answer to the big question (motoGP)?

Hi Proc ~ at last the news I've been waiting for ~ what is Jerry doing ~ I am not surprised he is moving with Valentino Rossi ~ they have been a team for so long now ~ The Rossi magic is a combination of things ~ his skill ~ his team ~ and a great bike ~ I can't wait to see how he gets on with the red monster ~

I would like to add ~ Well done Scott in Philip Island ~ he did so well :-)

Unfortunately, Ducati has already said they'll spend the national debt of a small country to give Valentino a competitive bike. So If Vale is fast straight up, is it because he's the GOAT, or is it because Ducati finally got off their arses? Or is it because JB's a genius?

With the exception of Hayden over the last few months, nobody has been able to do anything good with the Ducati except Stoner, including Capirossi and Melandri. The only other person to win on one was Troy Bayliss!

I think it'll be a great season anyway, but I'd suggest that VR won't have it all his own way, because clearly the Ducati is totally different to every other bike out there!

[ hi Proc.. i agree with Vitor it's a combination of the two. Jerry is a king maker but Rossi is already a king..

just curious why the announcement about Jerry took so long..also would Jerry need Yamaha's permission to study any data from the GP11 or did have to wait....and that's why the decision was delayed.

i think that they will win the first round at Qatar, and then the rest may be playing catch-up...o#o..

Hello Proc and everyone! :)

I must say I was also a bit curious to see where the magic was but maybe it's in the combination of the two.

I'm taking an uneducated guess that the duo will take more less until the middle of the season to get good results, but I wish they will get them sooner :)

Stoner and Dovizioso have surprised me in Japan. But not more than the Rossi vs.Lorenzo's "bang up action" heheh.

Thanks for the link!

why is everyone suddenly questioning Rossi 's ability without Jerry? I do believe that if the gear isn't underneath you,no- one can overcome the shortfalls,,example,Mike Schumaker.But give Rossi a couple of races and "Bingo",same old,same old.

I think the Honda is virtually on it,s limit for who is astride it.All good stuff though.

The rest of the paddock have offically just shat their pants.

The GP11 is going to be fast, first race out.

As for the magic, 125 & 250 title without JB.

Keyboard is ker-put, hence short answer. Sorry!

Cant say I'm surprised, after all if it aint broke, don't fix it...

P.S. thanks for the article attached Proc, hadn't read that one yet..Matt
