YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!

People blame Rossi being past it but you don't go from winning a couple of races before the end of the season (last win was Sepang '10 when Lorenzo won his title) to being instantly last in testing and mid pack over one end of season break.

Shame he couldn't do what casey did on the duke, instead it looks like he's been trying to turn the duke into a yamaha instead of willing to adapt, even nicky hayden has made him look abit stupid imo.

He'll look even more stupid if he goes back and doesn't win.

From the first test session he gets on the yam i bet he'll put his old wall back up in the garage Laughing

also will be funny to see them fight for #1 spot, because he's going in there as lorenzo's bitch to start with i guess

That Monza Clip was the wrong one.
This was the race I was thinking of, I've got it on tape somewhere. It was much better live, the whole race was good. Unfortunately this is only highlights but you'll get the drift and you'll remember the race if you watched it at the time.

I love how everyone slates rossi and reckons he's past it, yet put him in the wet, even on the duke, and he was cutting it with the best of them. He aint past aything, the duke doesnt work for him, lets get him back on a yam and give him the chance to silence all the neighsayers....

When Rossi first went to Yamaha the bike was pants but he developed it and won on it!

Thank fucking Christ.

You don't go from being hero to zero so quickly unless there's something seriously wrong.

I hope he'll prove to all the naysayers that he truly is the GOAT.

Brave move, no excuse for being beat by Lorenzo now!

It amazes me to this day that Rossi even considered going to the Ducati after the way Melandri wobbled around on it.

As for Crutchlow, I suspect the Duke will end his career, but if the bike truely is a spade, he of all people won't be afraid to call it so Thumbs Up
