bingo babe!! no doubt yamaha are gonna be in a fix once rossi steps into f1….lets face it,yamaha never built the perfect bike for him..he rode his guts out to win on that machine…the hondas were better machines…rossi beat them.
I think the likes of pedrosa and lorenzo could help yamaha…there’ll never be another rossi…there ought not to be one. I feel both danny pedrosa and jorge lorenzo have what it takes to beat the hondas…they probably wouldn’t emulate rossi’s success but surely look like the only potential riders who could help yamaha.

interesting essay!!!
it’s a fact that rossi has the -midas touch-,he has done what riders on the grid today or in the paddock(doohan)lol ,could only dream of..
thats,bringing the yamaha back on top!!!
i agree with michelle,without VALENTINO yamaha are going back to the slumps..
i don’t see any rider present or future,inflicting pain on the honda like rossi is doing now…
no one has that edge!!!

Colin Edwards is a good development rider.

With the addition of him, at Rossi’s request, they now have the rider, team & manufacturer titles close to wrapped up.

Colin is only 6 or 9 point out of second spot.

Michelle you should patent that phrase “rossichine technology” lov it it’s wicked, pure genius!

I think the bike is just another bike without Rossi in the seat. Yamaha will be lost without him.

P.S Maybe Yamaha could buy the design’s too the Dodge Tamohawk!!! That should just about beat the Honda on straights..

Unfortunatly i dont think Gibernau or any1 of the GP riders have the mental game that Rossi has, at this moment of course(im praying that the boy Hayden comes through soon!!!) Maybe one of the 250 riders will suprise us and fill Vale’s boots?? But the thing too remember is that every generation has its legends so no doubt one day my future kids will be saying the name of the next Semi-god on two wheels!!
If Yamaha want a new rider jus giv me a call, ill make 2007 free…..please!

True about Criville. But then again, against who ?

hmmmmm….
Criville 1999 Champion for Honda, and I wouldn’t say Criville is regarded as one of the greats

And realistically yamaha are going to be right in the crap aren’t they. Edwards hasn’t done anything substantial, and I imagine Yamaha have taken their Humachine approach with him…

So, they are going to have to poach another rider from Honda (maybe Gibernau) or pick some talent out of the unknown-

Or, build some freaking mega bike better than Honda!!! what are the chances of that??

Well, Honda didn’t win without Rossi or Doohan either? Or any manufacturer without their heroes.
But for sure, Yamaha needs a few good men
