Hey OP - Your inside information wasn't MCN was it? I've just bought a copy and they'd make me believe it to.
No, a friend of mine. He's very reliable with this kind of thing.

They wont change the engine configuration as it's part a of Ducati that links to their road bikes.
Good point, they won't want to alienate all those V4 road bike owners or negatively impact the sale of new bikes.

Is there a reason for you being a bit of a dick about this, or are you doing it for fun?

I got told something by a friend of mine, I got the impression that it was being announced very soon. Turns out it's not. So, instead of doing the usual and flying off the handle at people questionin it, I apologised for posting it. Someone asked me if my source was MCN, I said it wasn't, it was a mate of mine. The same mate who told me Rossi had signed for Ducati long before it was announced - I'd say that makes him 'pretty reliable'.

So, if you haven't got anything useful to add, don't bother. Cheers.

No offence but your original post falls under the 'nothing useful to add' category as its just hearsay and conjecture, I too have friends in the MotoGP paddock but don't go announcing what they have heard here for all and sundry to look like I have an inside line ....

So come on who is your source ? and I bet he's glad he tol you eh ???

As usual, I think we're suffering from the standard forum problem of NOT READING THINGS PROPERLY.

So, let's review shall we.

I get a message from a friend of mine who I consider reliable saying 'Rossi's been confirmed at Yamaha'. Because I know that people on here are keen to know the situation, I post it.

Let's have a look at my original post:

MrKipling43 said:
Can't find the original 'MotoGP paddock rumours' thread, so sorry for the new one.

Just been told that Rossi has been confirmed back at Yamaha.

Good? Bad? Sponsors? Who's going to fill the Duke seat? Where will Dovi go?

Discuss... wink
If I wanted to look like 'I had the inside line' I'd probably have made more of a fuss about exactly how I'd heard it.

Less than an hour later...

MrKipling43 said:
Ok, chaps... er, may have jumped the gun on this a bit. Heard it from a mate (albeit a VERY well connected one) and he's just told me that it's not official yet, even though it is (if you see what I mean) - I got the impression it was.

getmecoat
And then...

MrKipling43 said:
Sorry, on my way out now.
So, I'm not exactly sure what more you want from me? I posted a bit of information that I thought was solid. Turns out that it wasn't, I apologised, and yet people are having a go about it! I won't gloat when it's confirmed, if you promise not to rip the piss if it isn't.

Can we dop this now, please?

Wooh Wooh let's all relax, Mr Kipling said nowt wrong, and in his defence we had 5 pages of reasonably decent discussion on Rossi, so every cloud and all that.

Like you don't even KNOW...



Yeah that's right. Home made millionaire's shortbread. Home made white chocolate and rasberry brownies. Home made viccy spongles. Missing from the bottom layer? HOME MADE SCONES.

Let's get one thing clear here.......YOU did not make those cakes. You're a biker. Your Mrs made the cakes whilst you were changing the engine on your R1 with your bare hands.....no tools required. You came indoors, downed a dozen wife-beaters, and polished off the HOME MADE SCONES whilst Mrs K was sorting out your dinner.
