MotoGP快訊
YAMAHA跟Rossi已經搭上線囉
目前已在談合約中
看來HRC這次有可能留不住Rossi囉
不過最後的消息還沒出來~
就請拭目以待囉
Mick Doohan has surprisingly added fuel to the fire over the rumours surrounding his Honda protégé Valentino Rossi’s proposed switch to Yamaha, claiming that the rival factory are in a strong position to snatch the signature of the Italian after learning from their previous experience during his own riding career. Doohan has revealed that Yamaha almost enticed him away from Honda on several occasions and admitted that their failure to do so could be the key to their determination to ensure that history is not repeated.

“I think Yamaha probably learnt a lot with myself,” said Doohan, who won the 500cc World Championship for Honda on five consecutive occasions during the 1990s. “I would do a contract every year rather than a two-year deal, and we toyed with it every year for a few years and I’m sure that they know that they have an opportunity now to grab Valentino and their experience from the negotiations with myself, they way they broke down, I’m sure they’re not going to let the same thing happen again with Valentino.

“It could just be that they might be committed to put something together. Yamaha is a big factory.
Yamaha I’m sure can win races with a leader and Valentino is a leader. At the moment I don’t think we have that many leaders in the paddock.”

Despite his loyalty towards Honda, for whom he now works as HRC Racing Manager, Doohan also admitted that as a race fan he would enjoy seeing Rossi on board the YZR-M1. “I would like to see it happen like everybody else would like to see it happen but only if it’s beneficial to Valentino. I really hope wherever he goes he has a lot of fun and has some success and I believe he’ll have it anyway.”

另外一點明年HONDA軍團已經確定人選了
Max Biaggi.
Sete Gibernau.
Nicky Hayden.
Colin Edwards.(德州龍捲風又回到Honda)
Makoto Tamada. 玉田 誠
最後1位就要看Rossi的動向而定............
比較可憐的是Ukawa這次沒辦法留在GP
可能要轉戰到250或是Superbikes或Supersport
死Edwards自己不中用還要拖累別人....
