they can get that #2 rider, spanish of course, & hell have a hell of a nice budget!
Yeah, but who's he gonna front on the #2 bike? He'll need a fast, sponsor-friendly and avaliable Spainard. Cardoso dosen't really fit the bill
KR's curse is he's an american in a European's sport. If there was an American sponsor intrested in MotoGP, my guess is they"d go straight to Team KR. But there's not. Well, I hope Junior can bag a win and some more podiums to get the attention of someone with a fat wallet.

It's a good point, not who's gonna sponsor them but will they bother with sponsorship at all. Of course the cash will come in very handy, but it's likely that Yamaha are going for exclusivity this time. TV viewing figures are through the roof and the crash.net article made a few good points regarding the slightly poorer situation in F1. There's a chance for some branding here. The thought of beating Honda to the first 800 title on a bike with Yamaha plastered all over it, when you can bet the world will be watching the fallen legend regain his crown, is just too juicy to let some spanish phone company in on that kinda glory. Oh, the power of dreams.

And watch the orders for R6s and R1s come flooding in. Makes a lot of sense I guess. Which raises the question, did Camel leave, or did Yamaha tell them to get packing? I mean, Rossi didn't win the championship, but he's still the most popular rider on the grid by far, and a lot of people will be watching the potential comeback. If I were a Camel exec, I'd give them another go.
I knew it was too Ironic that Rossi's team was the one without sponsorship. They're probably beating sposors back with a stick, while guys like LC and Ponchiral would do anything for some sponsorship cash

Polleria Oswaldo to sponsor Vale in 2007!!!!!
Haha...how many of you remember the Polleria Oswaldo gag? On Italian sports news yesterday they ran a feature on Vale's current (lack of) sponsorship issues. It was a real laugh with the good old Polleria Oswaldo being pulled out of the woodwork. Vale keeps such a serious throughout he's absolutely hilarious. Anyway, the story went that since Vale is sponsor-less, his old loyal friend Oswaldo was going to step in. With a few conditions thrown in. The tail of the bike has to be in the shape of a cockerel's rear end (but Yamaha shot that down because of problems with the aerodynamics). The other problem lies with the fact that Dainese are having some problems designing his new boots as cockerels have three toes and the three-toed boots they've come up with so far are giving him problems as the outermost toe is scraping the ground too much and sending up sparks on right bends.
I wish I could describe it all better for you guys. You really have to see this one. Have tried looking for a clip online but nothing yet.
FOUND IT!!!

Valentino Rossi Show "Sponsor? Pollo Osvaldo"
Chances are it'll be there only for today. It's all in Italian but you can probably get the gist of it. I love when he shows the drawing of the 'three-toed boot proposal'

What the heck do they make?
Pollo means chicken, right? Is it like the Italian version of KFC? (That would be ironic
) Are they sponsoring just Rossi or the whole Yamaha team?

It's a joke Richo. A 'polleria' is a chicken farm. Way back in the days when Vale was a Tavullia kid they used to play a bachelors vs married guys footie game once a year, and one fine day someone turned up with these polleria oswaldo t-shirts for one of the teams - at the time there was a polleria oswaldo butcher's shop in Tavullia. A few years later when Vale was winning races in 125 or 250..don't remember which, during a post-race interview Vale very seriously announced he wished to thank one of his earliest sponsors..the polleria oswaldo. Following that, RAI (national TV) caught up on the story and wanted to interview Oswaldo. The shop had long closed so vale roped in his friends and they took the RAI people to this farm which belonged to one of his friends' dad and some guy posed as Oswaldo. The tv people believed everything and ran a feature on it on prime time national tv
So the polleria oswaldo sponsor thing is a long running joke. They even had a costume which someone wore to ride on the back of vale's bike at one time. Sadly it was stolen a while back.
Well, excuse my ignorance, I didn't know any of that. Probably why you're the Rossi fan and I'm the Bayliss fan
Love the chicken boots. A Helmet shaped like a beak would look pretty trick if you were a chicken

Only two reasons for a factory to go racing, Pride and Retail.

i think it was all part of the original deal done when rossi defected to yamaha. i believe he told them he did not want tobaco sponsors involved and yamaha said ok but if you want to win championships we need tobaco money for a couple of years then yamaha would be in a posision to sponsor themselves if need be.
i remember toby and jewls talking about it a couple of years ago. so with that in mind i would bet it was yam who pushed camel out rather than the other way around.
