hondas worst nightmare...

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. and Valentino Rossi are delighted to announce
that Valentino will stay with Yamaha for a further year. Rossi will
continue to race in Yamaha's MotoGP line-up riding the Yamaha YZR-M1 in
the 2006 MotoGP World Championship.

Rossi won the 2004 MotoGP World Championship with Yamaha and is
currently competing in his second season with the Japanese
manufacturer's factory team. The 26-year old Italian leads the 2005
MotoGP World Championship by 120 points, following his 8th victory at
last weekend's German Grand Prix.

Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing, Lin Jarvis, stated, "Since we
announced the signing of Valentino Rossi at the end of 2003 we had an
astonishing first year with him, and are now enjoying great success
again in 2005. This year is the 50th anniversary for Yamaha and is
therefore a very special year for us.

We hope our MotoGP efforts will culminate in a second world title for
Valentino with Yamaha. We are obviously very happy to have Valentino
with us for another year and to keep him with MotoGP in 2006. The
partnership with Valentino is the key point that will now allow us to
proceed with our total MotoGP strategy for 2006."

"I am so happy to be able to announce the continuation of my
relationship with Yamaha" commented Rossi. "Last year was magic, to win
my first race with Yamaha, and then to win the championship. I have a
fantastic relationship with this factory and my team crew, who have
worked so hard to make the M1 as competitive as it is now, and it just
made sense to stay with Yamaha for another year."

 

And sales for YAMAHA will rise as well.

So, Hatz, How is Ducati doing?

Moike

 

not so good Moike, in fact they are going backwards (compared to last
year) - i did hear a whisper that Rossi would not ride one because
even the "Honda's"[1] are beating it home.

Johno

[1] and most of the Yamaha's and occassionly the suzuki's and
kawasaki's.

Beer mate?

 

I'm actually starting to wonder if Biggus and Hatz are the same person.

They're probably all Bobby, in fact.

 

Geeze, Johnno, it was a rhetorical question.

Moike

Ta mate. Would you believe I had trouble getting Red in parts of
Darwin, and ended up with Green. Not too bad........

(funniest thing was dropping into a beer garden of a pub in Katherine,
and asking the barman for a glass of white wine for the missus.
"wine?.. yeah, I think we have some here somewhere...." Only took a
couple of mnutes to find the cask, but he opened every door of the
extensive refigeration system first. Then he had to go and ask someone
to find out where the wine glasses were kept. The beer he had no
trouble with.)

 

I'm actually starting to wonder if Biggus and Hatz are the same person.
