Jeez, the Motogp silly season for 2017 has already kicked off.

I think he's in Tuscany

 

Pffft! One does Tuscany one you can't afford Baltimore....

 

If Suzuki sign AE(1 year) then Rins would do best by staying in Moto2 another year. He seems to have soured both Honda and Yamaha. That should change, but they'll give him another chance of he dominates Moto2 for two years. Aprillia or KTM at this point would be potential career suicide.

Pol- well what is there to say. Jarvis basically said it all in front of the world Thursday. "We believe the bike is capable of better performance"

 

Jarvis also said that Rins is still welcome in Tech 3, so I'm remaining optimistic that he'll take Pols spot.

 

Could 2017 be Rossi’s year? | Motor Sport Magazine

 

Not if Gigi has anything to do with it. Looking past the hype of the article Ducati seems more determined than ever. Gigi didn't go there to lose. I have no doubt he can produce a championship winning bike he's done it before. Just a question of whether J Lo can adapt to it.

So the take home is if you handicap Rossi's competitors, Rossi MIGHT win?

 

Wait...giving Maverick Vinales an M1 instead of that mediocre Suzuki (sorry 'toe) is a handicap? Holy fuck dude.....just stop.

 

Viñales has one podium in two seasons, I'd hardly call him a competitor. He might become one, but right now he's an also ran.

 

It's going to suck watching that "also ran" blow the doors off of Lorenzo all season long in 2017, isn't it?

 

No, not at all, if he can get it done.

 

Crystal ball working overtime, Nostradamus?

 

Jorge has proven he's faster than Rossi on equal equipment. You think Vinales will be faster than Rossi on the M1?

 

Not initially but soon it will happen ..

 

The huge potential upside of the 2017 Ducati-Lorenzo combo is having a tourette's affect on Rossi fan.

 

Where do you buy your drugs?

 

So Pol and Yamaha have confirmed that they are parting ways and it's widely believed that he's following Smith to KTM.

I realllllly hope that Rins takes that seat!

And Pol confirms that he's signing with KTM in the press conference.

 

So KTM is Tech 3 Redux

 

So Ramon Forcada has fired Jorge Lorenzo in favor of partnering up with Maverick Vinales for 2017
