Lorenzo = Honda

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ROCKGOD01 @ Jul 26 2009, 02:41 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>What are the chances that Jorge signs with Honda, and Fiat Yamaha desides to stop his parts flow, data, etc for the rest of the year? I wouldn't doubt it because in my opinion this woulds mean that Jorge can now take more chances and push a bit more even if it happens to mess Rossi up in the mix. It would almost be as though he isn't Vale's teammate anymore once he signs so then the free for all.

Lorenzo certainly already pushes as much as he can--I don't think he has many chances left to take.

Personally - I think yamaha is the better option.

Chuppa just want's his pesos and he'll let the rumour mill do his work for him

Yamaha would be silly to let him go - Rossi isn't going to be around for much longer

He's already proved he can take it to Rossi and beat him

Best bike

Best Engineers

Best 'team mate'

.... Honda I say

if he's reading this forum, he'll know what to do

i hope he stays as its good for vales motivation, lorenzo can really push him to the limit almost every race which is a plus for the fans.

BUT if he did go to honda he would still have one hell of a machine...its so sharp out of the corners and when pushed it can match the yamaha.
it would be a dream for honda if they got him... the honda is hard to judge as we have only really see whats its like for dani in the 800 era.... its no slouch, if pedro was more consistant and fight i have no doubt that he "could" win a championship.
we have seen dani set some blistering times on that bike and i would dissagree with those who think it isnt as good as the M1....maybe more touchy to setup but its still up there

There a plenty of bikes that can go fast, but feeback to the rider is more important at this level. I think when Pedro said HRC doesn't listen to him, it's related to their lack of engineering feedback (lateral flex, fork stiffness, etc)

Totally agree!

Plus if they give us a few more Catalunyas and Germanys, we all win.


I'd like to share a story with you guys. I had my teenage nephew over the house this weekend from out of town. He was youtube serving and saw some of my bookmarks. He saw a glimpse of the Rossi/Stoner Laguna duel and kept watching it over and over again. I didn't notice until I passed by him on my computer. So I tell him, did you like that, well check this out. So I showed him the last two Rossi/Lorenzo battles. He was amazed. It was awesome to see a kid really get into the racing and he couldn't shut up about it the rest of the day. (The only bad part of this story is that I think I inadvertently created a Rossi fan--CRAP!) Anyway, he was really turned on about it. So I showed him my races stash and he gobbled them up one right after the other for hours. So I can honestly say, the Yamaha boys battles have made an impact. They are attracting fans that previously knew nothing of the sport. That's good for everybody. Plus now I have my nephew to share this great passion with (of course I now have to reprogram him). Next weekend I told him to come over again to watch all the 2006 race DVDs....this should cure him!

^Have you ever thought of the possibility that he'll be a 100% Rossi fanboy already and say "Nicky won it by pure luck"

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (moto3 @ Jul 25 2009, 08:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>In the interview with BBC, JL said his first option is continued to be Yamaha, and when he was asked when he would make decision, he said it cannot be made in one or two weeks.. it would take more. He said it onTuesday, so I am very surprised when he already signed on Friaday unless some massive pressure was on him to sign.

Hopefully, not singed yet. Otherwise, this season is over. Whever he decides to join, I hope he signs at the end of the season!



It does not seems to be a problem to him. Read this----> http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77129

I am pretty sure there is a softer side of you Jumkie that likes Rossi! Just joking compadre… Your nephew will come to his senses and root for Hayden as uncle does… well, after you keep slapping him I would not blame him!

If Jorge goes to Honda, will Pedrochio join Freddie Hopkins, sorry I mean Casey at Ducati?

Follow the $$$$$$$$$ Lorenzo. Even if he beat Rossi, Rossi would sell more Yamahas and be #1 on the team.

Honda’s Project ‘Lorenzo’ slowing down gears…

http://www.solomoto.es/
Second article.

From Solo Moto Spain… (Sorry, translator does not seem to work on that page).

Its ok everyone you can stop thinking now I just worked it all out. .....

WHy would Lorenzo leave Yamaha!!?? the best bike out there, have been since not long after JB got there and looks like they will be so for a few years at least. WHy leave unless you feel you will never be number one there. So who is the reason he doubts he will be No. 1 after Rossi goes?

Pedrosa not signed yet ..... ok someones coming there ...... that'll be Lorenzo.

But what of Yamaha ....... Only Rossi and Stoner are signed for a while. JB was hunting for Stoner some time ago. SO here's the recipe, Rossi may want to leave at the end of his contract this time ..... finish on a high and all that ( best way to go ). But they want a rider to replace him ...... Stoner ...... its a long term plan. And I believe when he leaves Rossi will be punting for him, cos as much as the Rossifans dislike SToner, I actually think Rossi likes him, hence why "stuff" always seems so intense during the races etc, but they are often seen to be very "giggly" and "chummy" with each other.

Where Pedrosa will go ........ no idea, the guy seems destined to be the one who could have or was meant to be ........ that's all. But who knows.

I do not understand Spanish at all. I thought first he goes to Honda, but it seems that he is more likely to stay with Yamaha.
I read in other forum that MCN allegedly reports that he is signing with Yam and Motogp matters also reported this. http://www.motogpmatters.com/news/2009/07/...ion_a_few_.html

When I was thinking of changing a job, I was told that I had better stay if I have a doubt about moving. I want to say the same thing to him.

That motogpmatters article was about as far away from a confirmation as you can get.
Besides I've always followed: " If you have doubts about staying you better get out ASAP"
Works for me.

But Lorenzo may know he will be #1 ‘If’ and ‘After’ Rossi leaves, he just has to prove himself worthy… The thing is, he does not want to wait 2.5 more Seasons (Beginnings of 2012) for Rossi to achieve the ‘All Riders All Times Most Wins’ Record (Remember 49x46.88%=23).

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BarryMachine @ Aug 1 2009, 11:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Pedrosa not signed yet ..... ok someones coming there ...... that'll be Lorenzo.

Honda already stated that Lorenzo’s pretensions are too much money and too much control over development, which of course won’t get until his proves to be as good at it as Rossi. So he should stick to #2 for a while.

And Piug and Pedrosa may say whatever, but as long as Repsol backups Pedrosa (And I think they back him up more than they would Lorenzo), he has a sit at HRC.

Rossi may want to leave at 124 wins, 2.5 more Seasons. I also doubt that if Rossi starts 2012 and gets the Record he wants, he’ll quit mid Season.

Really ‘Long’ term, and by that time more youngsters will surge up… Stoner also proved at Honda that an easier ride bike was not his best, and that is what Yamaha has become with development from Rossi / Burges.

well - what's a team-mate, apart from somebody riding the same basic bike for the same owner or sponsor. this is big money sport & nobody is helping or teaming with anybody else - it was great to see stoner & hayden get lapped at donington
