With both Lorenzo and now Rossi on Yamaha's I think we will see some great races next year. Tech 3 can't quite get up front but they are close, next year will see Bradley Smith enter the grid...I'm not so sure about that but we will see what he can do. Marquez will take a couple of races to get into the swing of things and then I think it will be all systems go. I agree with you though, it's become pretty boring to watch so I am pleased he has made the decision to give up flogging the Ducati when he just couldn't get to grips with it.

Call it what you want but I think it's the right choice for him. He will bring a main sponsor with him, the races will be a lot more entertaining and exciting and as a brand Yamaha are laughing with them both in the team. Spies was never going to get another ride with them so it was a choice between Rossi, Cal or Dovi....my money was always on Rossi!

I think we will see the rest of the market close up now pretty quickly.

So glad I didn't get Alfie another Rossi Ducati T shirt for next year!! ;D ;D
