WHAT ABOUT THE JOKER?

The trouble with racers and their Teams is that if they don’t race for a couple of weeks, having more time on their hands seems to directly equate with even more rumours starting and then being promulgated until they literally become facts.

Myself and a few others have been making and taking side bets on how long it would be before there was a very loud crash followed by metallic tinkling noises coming from the Ducati garage – this being the predictable and inevitable sound of Valentino Rossi chucking his toys, dummy and various bits-n-pieces out of his pram. The smart money said, somewhere around Round 11 at Brno, Czechoslovakia – and here we are... At this juncture, I’ll ask the question again. What about the Joker in the pack – the Joker being Valentino Rossi?Over the past week, you would have to living on Mars not to hear the current hot tip – Rossi wants out of Ducati – and Rossi wants a Honda. Well, strike me Paris Hilton pink and call me Murgatroyd – who ever would have expected or thought that?

Seriously, apparently the frustrated one wants a “single rider” outfit (par for the course as he hates sharing or having anything to do with team-mates) – just in case, you understand – look what happened at Yamaha – a young thruster usurped him for speed and consistency and ran away with the2010Title! As rumour has it, LCR could well be the vehicle and means that the fantastic flop has set his sights on to climb out of the gutter.

Limelight deprivation syndrome is a terrible thing to behold and simply must hurt the sufferer like buggery too. And then, there’s the other side of the coin as well – has EVER so much dough been lavished on such a result-free and serial failure-rich zone? Oh, how it must smart for both parties! And now even poor Jerry Burgess and his ponderings and comments wander all over the place like Brown’s Cows and Ducati’s own press releases. The pressure, as predicted, is getting to everyone involved in this ongoing disaster. The entire shebang is now simply painfully embarrassing to witness. It’s kind of like suddenly realising that Albert Einstein has resorted to publicly picking his nose and drooling. Yech! Anyway, watch this space. Cheers...
 

OK... I'll call you Murgatroyd but I draw the line at the Paris Hilton pink bit!

Why?

Aquarius, we all get that you have a lot of hatred towards Rossi for some strange and unhealthy reason but is there any need to bring that to a thread that has nothing to do with Rossi and start yet another pointless argument? We will have to start calling you Matt Birt soon!!

AQUARIUS....

Did you know that it is a well known fact that writing long rambling posts with nothing to do with the actual news story is a sign of small an insignificant genetalia?

Can anybody have a non-linked rant?

This rioting and looting in London and other cities - what's that all about?

Why did Boris Johnson not shorten his holiday to sort out the London riots situation?

Is global warming a natural phenomenon or is mankind responsible for its occurance?

Do we need another series of Big Brother?

LCR's plans to possibly expand is very welcome news as it goes against all the signs of cut-backs and downsizing. THIS is the real interesting news, Aquarius, so let's keep focus on the article - just a suggestion........
