@Paul It is all speculation on my part, but I believe all the stars are aligning for it to happen.

Thanks for the write up, is this purely speculation ? or based upon inside top secret knowledge?

I would love to see it happen !!!

@jupiejupe I think you are right about Burgess. But Burgess has said he will retire when Rossi retires so if Vale is up for it, I expect Burgess to be too!

rossi will only ride from ducati if:
where ever burgess is, rossi will be, if ducati won’t hire burgess & team rossi won’t go. just like lorenzo in ’09, rossi has to stay with what the his main rival is riding, stoner has not been a treat since ’08 laguna, lorenzo and now spies (if he lives up to the hype) will insure that rossi can not risk wasting another year like ’07 if he can not ride the monster duc.

all in all there’s nothing like the treat of going to ducati, to get his demands meet by yamaha.

@Robert, My bad you are right the 103 is Rossi’s total number of GP wins in all classes. I have made the correction

@Kyle I think Hayden will get the boot if he doesn’t perform next year, especially if Stoner is back to form

There was only one thing wrong in this and it was that you said “Vale now stands at 103 career wins in the premier class.” He has 103 career wins in all categories.

Otherwise this was a great read.

So they give stoner the boot? They always want an American on the team for marketing reasons, is it worth drafting the Italian over US bike sales
