Yamaha MotoGP rider announcement

 

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd announces that it has concluded a two-year

agreement with 250cc World Champion Jorge Lorenzo. The 20-year-old Spaniard

will make his MotoGP debut in 2008 aboard a YZR-M1, with direct Factory

support.

 

Lorenzo, who won the 250 title in 2006, is currently leading the

championship, after winning six out of the first ten races this season.

 

"Yamaha has been watching Jorge's career with interest for some time

and we are delighted that he will be joining our MotoGP line-up from next

season” - commented Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of Yamaha Motor

Racing. “We are sure that he will be a valuable asset for the future

and we look forward to the commencement of his MotoGP career with

Yamaha.”

 

The exact structure of Yamaha’s team and rider organization is still

under consideration at the present time. Further details, including

Lorenzo’s team structure, will be announced in due course.

So Colin's out?:confused:

Nope....so far Lorenzo's team not firm. Could be a solo rider team, factory support, Fortuna sponsored team.

 

Colins should stays with VR to be the developing rider under Fiat Yama.

 

Interesting facts are that Rossi dun like Lorenzo, Lorenzo's manager dun like Dani's manager cuz they trying to produce Spain #1 rider. Hmmm....lots of heat. Lorenzo's ego is all full of hot air too, not too welcomed by the rest of the MotoGP guys.

 

2008, good lah!!!

Lorenzo vs Casey Stoner vs Dani Pedrosa. That will be fun to watch!

 

John to Kawa also quite a formidable one, Marco on Duc can be quite scary too.

 

Dun rule out the Doc, as usual....

 

Wah, we joining the silly season so early also, lol...

looks like Yamaha is trying to seal one of the hottest prospects before anyone else makes a move. alot can be learnt from how Honda missed signing Chris Vermeulen (IMO that was a tragedy). these riders are like hotcakes....

 

it is rumoured that edwards may be going out....

i do wonder if it is rossi instead?

Rossi had signed with Yamaha till the end of 2008 so it can't be him...

 

After that I think Rossi may be going to Ducati... pending on Jeremy Burgess, whether he is willing to go along

Even the smallest spark can start a massive forest fire...

If Rossi goes to Ducati then it might be all over for everyone else.

 

Ducati has (ironically) the best electronic traction control, allowing them to run even firing order for max horsepower. (noneed to run big-bang firing order). That with Rossi and friend's ability to tune the handling....

:cool:

I rather have Rossi on a Japanese bike because we know some of that GP technology will trickle down to bikes that we can afford. Most of us won't be able to enjoy the technology on a Ducati 1098 (or 1099 in future) anyway.

 

Anyway I am feeling that Yamaha wants to snag Jorge Lorenzo because it doesn't have a young gun to compete with Pedrosa, Stoner and Hopkins.

Rossi will only go if Burgess goes along.. They have a long history there & I think each other's decision is crucial to which teams they go to after their contract ends
