valentino rossi spotted in yamaha HQ this morning!

Yep, no doubt he can have any ride he wants if and when he goes to SBK. I for one hope he does go to SBK, and wins. Cause if he does, I think it is the only way to offset the Ago records to his favor a bit. All of this is modern era stuff, and he can't ever equal note for note what Ago did, and who cares really. But Vale does quite a bit it seems, and that would be a way for him to add to his legacy and win tallies. But when I read that in the original article I had a chuckle. I was thinking of the negotiation table filled with all the main decision makers ready to make their offer. They slide it to him, look at each other confidentaly, and Vale has no real reaction. A long uncomfortable silence befalls the room, and almost as Vale is about to speak, some over zealous Yamaha guy blurts out, " AND to SWEEEEETEN the deal Valentino..................................we are going to give you a WSBK ride....................whaddya think? LOL.

Developing a new R1 for a return to SBK does not sound like a sweetener to me. More like "Mr Rossi, we will give you two years on an M1, then you will give us two years on an R1. Deal?". Then comes the uncomfortable silence. JB blurts out "NO UPDATES SINCE JANUARY VALENTINO TAKE IT!"
