Rossi and Lorenzo will each have their own one man teams.. Thats my guess.. Maybe one of them running Bridgestones..
I would expect Yamaha to use one tyre supplier to get as much useful data as possible.

Sounds like another team I know of...........the same team that gave the reigning world champion a bike he couldn't even sit on (I'm never going to let that go). It will be interesting to see if the works Yamaha team turns out the same way--with Toseland doing all the work and Lorenzo getting all the support.
Get over it, Honda always back results and we know that Nicky struggled to adapt to the 800 from day one (even after he got bigger fairing and the right riding position). When Honda built the 990 Rossi ride it an complained that it was too small, when Pedrosa ride the 800 in testing (very quickly) he didn't complain about the size. Its hardly surprising.
As far as Colins job goes i think its a good call. Yamaha have the two highest profile rookies on the grid and the best of all time. They would achieve nothing with another youngster on board so why not fill the seat with the experienced known quantity who is valued as one of the best testers/development riders on the grid.
