Looks like Honda may go for Jorge, and Jorge would jump to a Honda IMO! If not Rossi could end up back on the Honda or maybe even Yamaha again and have one last shot at glory. ---

I am actually not suprised. He just had a new born last year, and if he wins this year he will retire at the top of his game and as a champion. No one should ever did what Schumi does in F1, just saying. :rofl ---

Stoner will come back when he gets bored trust me! 2 to 5 years. He is a FOOL for leaving in his prime he was going to be the next doohand! ---

What a damn shame to hear, but it is totally understandable with the newborn baby. It’s a dangerous sport, and what happened to Sic last year probably weighed a bit on the decision. One other thing we learned … Rossi is set for another couple years: > “Is a shock for everybody. Nobody expected the rumours [about Casey’s retirement] to be true. It’s a great pity for MotoGP, because we lose a great rider. I want to continue for a minimum of two more years. This is real – I’m not retiring!” ---

Stoner doesn’t like the way GP is going that’s why he walked. check some of his interviews.
