Motorbike market : strange talk before the season, but if you think about it ... In 2012, the expiring contracts of many top riders, easy to imagine a season spiced with detached, spectacular races, but also items from the paddock, vitriolic interviews and alleged scoop whispered half-heartedly, never shouted up to the official press release or press conference.
Casey's "Crazy" Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, Valentino Rossi , Ben Spies, Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden among them, the pilots 'armored' seem to be two in particular, the Australian and Spanish cangurotto World Champion 2010. Lin Jarvis could be tempted out of the deal when Valentino Rossi had to leave Ducati, Yamaha home but the future seems to have been entrusted to the figure of Jorge Lorenzo . The number one and mend his relationship with the Pesaro, in the pits and walls made of telemetry data "secrets" would be very difficult if not impossible.
The words of the head of the racing division of the house of Iwata: "There are rumors about the future quite different from Valentino, but I do not know if it will continue with Ducati in MotoGP or if there is fun to run with the four wheels, his old dream since the first tests with the Ferrari races and rallies. The chances of Rossi and Lorenzo run together at Yamaha are pretty low, I would say. " No-face then. Rather the withdrawal.
"See Valentino in difficulty is not good for anyone. The ideal is to have three brands with three riders fighting for the podium at every race until the last lap. We managed to win several times and can still be happy with our 2011. I hope that a sample of the likes of Rossi can find the right feeling with the Desmosedici and return to occupy the top step of the podium. I did not expect to see it so difficult, especially after an initial adjustment period. When he passed from Honda to Yamaha, however, Rossi was younger, more motivated and certainly the competition was less fierce than the current MotoGP "
On Ben Spies : "If we exclude the victory, Ben is not very pleased with the results and we are also convinced that he can give a lot more, especially being in the lead group and go to the podium with greater continuity. It has an untapped potential and I hope that in 2012 his determination and his abilities have the best. "
An even more distant future, a name, Bradley Smith : "Despite the ups and downs of the season, Bradley has proven to be a very intelligent and talented pilot. It has all the characteristics to become a great rider MotoGP although I think that staying in Moto2 was the right choice at the time. "
