Tea-bagged? Actually I used to travel from race to race with a group of Irish racers and they always referred to the Brits as "fookin' teabags".


Are you asking what Tea-Bagged means?

Rossi is a grown man, i'm sure he doesn't need 'strokin' not from Uccio anyway.


Well, I hope he is 'becoming' a grown up man. For sure he wasn't until very recently, and the facts are there to show it. Maybe he thought he could go on playing like a teenager for the rest of his life. In a way that has been one of his strengths, taking things lightly and remaining relatively carefree in the midst of big things happening in his life... But now he'll turn 29, the real world is falling on him with all its weight... It's time for a change. He can still ride like a god and surely he could score more successes, but much of his future will depend on how well he can complete this transition. This is what I feel...

Meh,

Never mind he will need new managers when he becomes the drawcard for WRC's new initiative "Rally 2012". Whereby they have a grand plan to lift the profile of WRC ..... After seeing an interview with the NZ WRC CEO ( and knowing Rossi tried a few rallies in NZ ) I think things are well planned for there in the future.

it sure is, i think rossi has realized next season is .... or bust. his manager has buggered his finances, and yamaha and michilin have got lazy due to his and there success .he needs to stop listening to all the hangers on and do what he thinks is best and just go for it, theres was just to many resting on there lorrals this year imo.
personally i think he should have ditched yamaha as well as michilin, he has been to loyal over the years and it has cost him.

Rallies? Rossi would LOSE there, no hope. That will be his retirement hobby, maybe, but not another serious sport. No way

If he could make money doing something he loved ...... ??

I don't think he will win either .... but thats acceptable .... since folk will say "ah but remember Rossi on a bike!! .... bet he could still win if he went back now!!" HE will drag fans to him like ..... hmmm .. Rossi fans to a Rossi

I wouldn't at all discount WRC 2012 includes the hiring of some racing personalities .... The CEO directly said they would do things like rehire past "greats" .... maybe he just meant past Rally greats ??? ... but gee Rossi is so attuned to such a lifestyle allready and boy can he attract the fans!!

In terms of a drawcard he's a proven commodity ....

how many folks on here will start to watch WRC if they hear Rossi is in it???

Now this would be a specticle. What a coup for WSBK to poach Rossi from MotoGP!!
If this happened I think WSBK would be as big, if not bigger, than MotoGP.

Plus it would be a great way to hassall Max (stick it to him, so to speak), man that would make him ......

Rossi will be back..
