Whinin' Rossi has now backpedaled on his interview with BBC about threatening to switch to Ducati if Lorenzo remains his teammate from 2011 and on, claiming they used his words out of context.

I love this quote by Jorge Lorenzo though, taken from above link : "I have no problem with him," said the Spaniard. "I'd prefer to have him as team-mate in order to try to beat him. I don't know what he said, but if he said that, then he is the one with a problem at dealing with me."

I have no idea what are you talking about. As a journalist, I just want to sell my news.

BS - without being in the same team as Rossi he wouldn't have the 2nd 'winningest' bike -

Lorenzo would not be as good on another bike, and Rossi was angry at Yamaha for letting Lorenzo chose a ‘One Year’ contract. Option that Rossi never got from Yamaha and complained about it. But as a Team and Bike he likes them. So… Bring on the toddlers, Rossi’s got actual riders numbers!

Rossi ain't too happy that Ben Spies is signed on to Yamaha, he even said it himself although not in those exact words. He thinks the world revolves around him and that he comes first before anyone or anything, that's just how the guy is that is why Honda dumped his ....

Man oh man Lorenzo, you need to hand him his ... next year. Got to be stronger on the brakes Lorenzo!!

Well when you look at this with a little less of your personal emotion - <u>HE DOES COME FIRST </u>BEFORE ANYONE OR ANYTHING - and - VERY FREQUENTLY - THAT'S HOW HE GOT BE WORLDCHAMPION MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE ACCORDING TO THE RULES AS THEY APPLY TO RIDING IN ONLY ONE CLASS IN A SEASON. Oh yes and Jorge - STOP crashing. Interesting that Honda shares its rider politics with you - it appears to most people that they haven't done all that well in winning races or developing bikes since he left.
