    Guess not.
    From MCN...
    "Rossi was released from his Yamaha contract during the recent Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island and Ducati has confirmed that Jerry Burgess and the rest of the nine-times world champion’s crew are free to join the 31-year-old when he tests in Valencia on November 9."

    That ain't no joke.

    Wow. I lost interest in Rossi after my "08" Fiat skinned R1 was stolen last year. Good for him. I think really he feels alot of pressure to perform againt Lorenzo. Like there wasn't enough competition out there unless he was competing against him. Might make the 2011 season a bit more exciting.
    I'm assuming Hayden and Stoner are still teamates wonder who Rossi will be paired with.
    Sure miss my R1.

    also from MCN....

    Ducati has also freed Casey Stoner’s crew to move immediately with the Australian to Honda at the Valencia test.

    I think if you have made it to the ranks of Moto GP that pretty much solidifies your status as a badass even if you don't win.

    But yeah Spies is amazingly talented.

    Rossi bailed on Yamaha because he hates Lorenzo(as do i). Stoner is on Honda, they are running 3 bikes this year. Spies replaced Rossi. This year will be awesome. Spies is my favorite but I think Stoner will kick ass on the honda. His first two days he was killing it, spies was third fastest on the two test days at Valencia.

    Love MotoGP, have the timing app on the iphone.

    May I ask what your dislike for Lorenzo is? Just curious.

    Rossi is the greatest athlete we have ever known, he has the blood of angels flowing through his veins. Rossi and the Kentucky Kidd baby will be showing how to do it this year on their Ducatis. Go Elbows that dude is badddd.

    Off topic- but trying to spread the word I have a thread started but no one goes- OffRoad racing lost one of the greats Nathan Woods to a practice crash in California this weekend. Here is a video of what he could do on a bike.

    I agree with you about Rossi, hope Rossi and Spies put Lorenzo in his place. Stoner looks really fast on the Honda so it should be a awesome year.
