Primacy Motoraad GP Deutschland Predictions & Race

That window is definitely closed now, mostly on Rossi’s side.
For the same reasons that Pedrosa chose to retire as an HRC rider than ride a Yamaha.

Rossi is very valuable to Yamaha and Vice Versa post retirement. They are going to make each other a lot of money for years, maybe decades.

I agree that it is not going to happen (HRC/Rossi) but that would be marketing coup to take one of the greatest from Yamaha their nemesis.
 
Libby didn't do .... to me. However, by liking a thread where a low-life AGAIN uses the word "...." to describe a racer, she negates the effort to try to civilize this place and society in general. The fact that so many don't get that, and that SHE is less willing to defend women than me, is rather astounding, don't you think? Or is everyone confused by her hypocrisy of liking Lorenzo, who has also been called a "...." by Rossi fans, but then likes where someone calls Marquez a "....". Confuses the .... out of me. But, I may pay more attention to things than most, especially around here.

You're jumping at shadows. If Libby annoys you, you're beyond help.

Honda now is exactly where they were with Rossi. One rider who can do no wrong with that machine and a few other riders who can do well on their day, but not really in any position to dominate.

It would do them well to have George on board and get him to be competitive on the bike if Marky Marc pulls a 2004 Rossi.

You need a head check. In the days of your boy at Honda any body back then riding a RC211V was able to win. Do we need to bring up the Michelin SNS tires. Do you remember Mugello in 2001? Here's hint......... AB.
 
Except Honda said in 2010 the door was open if Rossi wanted to come back.
Their door is truly closed for Biaggi (it’s too late anyway), but not to Rossi.

Yeah right! There are people high up HMC/HRC ranks who does not want him back there at any cost. A few journals have publish this over the years.
 
I suspect that it may be closed now, from both sides as it makes little business sense at this stage in their careers (HRC and Rossi) to start another association as so much history has past Rossi will not have the impact on a Honda that he would at Yamaha where he has such a strong current relationship.

Mind you, team Rossi at HRC post-retirement may work

Not likely.

Thats pure .........

Even Carmelo couldnt sway them when rossi failed at Duc. He was lucky Yamaha took him back at the time. Matter of fact I often wonder if they would have if Lorenzo was not there. Lorenzo was winning so rossi was acceptsble as rider no.2.

If I find the quote from Nakamoto, will you take a week off the forum?

It was reported that Jarvis did not want Rossi and the drama back at Yamaha but was overruled by heads of Marketing.
