Pretending?
So Rossi/Hayden at Ducati is officially official now? Or are we still saying its just inevitable?
Inevitable
Rossi to announce at Brno, Hayden probably Indy.

Would they announce Spies' move to Yamaha factory at Brno or Indy or...?
I need to have my pom-poms ready.

I can't wait

BTW - your site and the excellent informative comments which along with my husband's enthusiasm has fueled this passion I have for the races, and racers (especially my boys Dani and Ben). I read everything about the politics, engines (don't quite get all that yet)...so much to learn. Just wanted to say thanks for this classy and informative place!

Thanks for your kind words, they are appreciated. Of course the site will change over the course of the years, it's inevitable. But at its core, I hope it will stay the same: A place where intelligent discussion about the essence of motorcycle racing can take place. So very much of the credit for that is due to the readers I have.
