2010 Testing #1

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 7:58 am Post subject: 2010 Testing #1

It appears to be another Yamaha year. Rossi was fastest during the first test; Edwards and Spies were right there as well.

Stoner is still The Man at Big Red though Hayden has stepped it up and is closer than he's ever been. Perhaps Ducati has succeeded in making their bike more rider-friendly.

And, where is Asimo? Perhaps Repsol will try to court Stoner to come to Honda in 2011.

In fact, before the 2010 season even starts Karnak is predicting that Rossi will go to Ducati in 2011 and Stoner will go to Honda. The current doldrums within the economy is hurting the teams' ability to pay big salaries. Ducati couldn't afford to keep its AMA team (Pegram) in 2010.

Rossi to Ducati? I've heard the rumors but I don't think Yamaha would let Rossi go if he's still winning. I bet it would be Lorenzo leaving. Rossi also has stated that he will finish his career with Yamaha, not sure how true that will turn out to be but he said it.
