i dont think Marlboro will be leaving anytime soon, the money they spend sponsoring motogp is pocket money for them, especially when every where else tobacco advertising is banned.

You are of course assuming that Ducati will still be sponsored by Marlboro in 2009.

"Right from the start of the project we have had a positive collaboration with Philip Morris and I am extremely pleased to announce that Ducati Corse has extended the sponsorship agreement with Philip Morris International until 2011. It is a unique partnership, one that since 2003 has linked together two of the most prestigious names in the world with the positive results that are visible for everyone to see. Together we can look forward to the future and the victories to come."
until 2011 at least

I love it!
1. The possibility of he being the FIRST and ONLY rider to win the premier class championship on "3" different machines!
2. We'd get to keep him the sport we love!

I think the reason Kwak only gave Hopper 1 year is so they could take a whack at Rossi if John doesn't produce.
hmmm... i think hopper has a 2 year deal & west has the 1 year deal.

I think it is safe to say, if he changes teams and wins, the accomplishment of winning for three different manufacturers, on three different types of machines, will never be equaled.
ahhh... never say never.

At some tracks I believe they're only allowed to use a logo and sponsor colours whereas at some tracks it is legal for the full name of the tobacco sponsor to be on the bike.
yes & those tracks are only 3 right now. qatar china & sepang. i think after marlboros contract is up in 2011 there will be no more tobacco in motogp.
