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...

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.

He's got to jump or he's doomed. Lots of pressure and lower monies at Yamaha though, we will all have our eyes on him expecting improvement.

He can stay at Ducati, pocket an enormous pay deal and walk away at the end with the blame for failure heaped on Ducati, or he can go to Yamaha and get whupped by Lorenzo on a very similar bike and the failure will be all his.

He reckons he's not in it for the money which is probably true, must be so frustrating for him at Ducati. I daresay that he will earn mega money at Yamaha anyway through sponsorship if not directly through Yamaha. Lots of pressure though...

I hope he stays at Duc and that Duc stuffs its pride and changes the engine configuration to something that adds more weight to the front.

Yeah, the pressure is definitely on. Presumably we're going to see what will effectively be two Yamaha Works teams, each running one bike?
