Almost nothing would make me happier than GEORGE leaving Yamaha. Vinales will be a great thing for Yamaha. Lorenzo probably only has a few good years left in him, whereas Vinales has a decade.
 
Sounds like the announcement will happen today. So I was wrong, as usual.

Thanks for writing this bit...

Yamaha failed to honor Lorenzo's achievements, for fear of offending his teammate. As difficult a situation as they found themselves in, not to celebrate Lorenzo's title was an act of cowardice. If Lorenzo goes on to beat both his replacement and Rossi on the Ducati, it will prove to be a very expensive act of cowardice indeed.
 
I don't think Lorenzo will do as well as you all think on that Ducati.

It will take a little bit of time for him and Ducati to adjust to each other....the one thing for sure is that Gigi will be watching JLOs riding style all season long to fix the Ducati GP17 for him and not for Dovi or Iannone....

Can someone remind me how similar was Casey's 250 riding style to Jorge's?

I certainly didnt see any similarity to their MotoGP riding styles....so Casey's may not be as valuable as some of you might wish for JLo....
 
Request Kropo:

Can you write a piece on how Lorenzo leaving Yamaha is as much Yamaha's fault as it is Valentino Rossi's fault?

If we're really looking to be honest with why this situation has turned out the way it has, Rossi is heavily to blame since he used his considerable influence in Yamaha to create a hostile environment for Lorenzo...especially in the final races of 2015. I think to not say anything about what Rossi did, is to do a disservice to your readership no matter how yellow-tinged they may be.

I am not sure how he will do.. Seem to change my mind every day.

I do know this. Dovi should have had 2 podiums this year, and a top 5 or so out of the first 3 races. George is regarded as one of the top 4 riders, top 2 by most. Dovi isn't in the top 4 on anyone's list. With that liberal comparison, and if George can translate his smooth style to the Duc, he should do well.

But, at the end of the day, it is all guesses and opinion, and opinions are like ...........

Going to have to want 14 or 16 months to really see.

I do wish him all the luck..
 
Great news for me, I now can get Lorenzo and Ducati merchandise together!
 
Anyone know where I can get a black armband to wear with my Lorenzo/Yamaha shirts?
