I simply can't see Burgess working with Stoner, or more pointedly Stoner wanting to work with Burgess.



Stoner has a team around him with whom he has great rapport and bought from Ducati (mostly) and he is comfortable. Burgess has been critical of Stoner on a few occasions and as we know, one thing Stoner does not do is forgive and he certainly does not and will not forget.



I think it is Kropotkin who has greatly hinted that there is more chance that Doohan will make a comeback then there is of Burgess working with Stoner.



But I do get the feeling that Burgess is totally unhappy and does not want to be either where he is or in the position and for that reason I can see him moving on, but likely retiring to the hills

Amen, Brutha! Not to excuse the Epic Dumbassedness of Yam, and no disrespect to Tex, but he's not usually so far up the list. Maybe they brought the factory goodies to him? If, OTOH, Edwards is doing this on a stock T3 bike, Mr. ....... better be reaching for his ceremonial sword....

"At the beginning I just said we’d run a Yamaha engine and a Tech 3 chassis because that was my way of putting some pressure on some guys and they obviously didn’t give a .... what I thought because they said no. I got a couple of guys against me on the European side at Yamaha, but at the end of the day it will be BMW/Suter"; You gotta love Edwards. Does this mean his lifelong relationship with Yamaha is strained.

"And Yamaha U.S., especially, have been golden; they've been so unbelievably overboard. I don't know if that's the right word to accommodate any situation that might arise. The comments I made were obviously directed not at YME but two particular entities that are at YME. And I don't think either one of them would empty their bladder on me if I was on fire. So those are the two - whatever comments you heard - there's two there and they know who they are. So I don't really need to name names or do that, but they know who they are."

Why didn't people even slightly take into consideration that the Duk has been sucking since....ever. And now it's the biggest POS ever.....



Well no, the main rider is a POS. Nicky is cool, at least he's a fighter and goes for it from the get go, too bad results don't quite show up.



Nicky should start getting some silver spoon before it's too late. gotta give him an opportunity to get something done at duk since Rossi can't get his .... together.



End rant.

Why are you so obsessed with Rossi? I would really love to hear what is your problem. Are you happy when he falls? I just dont get this kind of state of mind. Its like the sucide bombers, just cant get that either.

With the rain expected tomorrow, it could be a interesting race.

If it rains I dont see Dani or Dovi staying with Casey. Would be great for Ducati, and Nicky is close enough to the front to get away cleanly. Usually i would say Rossi can hang with Stoner in the wet, but he would have to prove it after the last two races. I'd take a good result for Ducati in general.
