Rossi's announcement.

It is old news, amazing that he still won/t comment on what he is riding in
04'

If he wants a challenge why not head back to the brand that gave him his
start

He can be team mates with Shane Byrne on the Aprilia

From http://motogp.tiscali.com/en/motogp/index.htm

"Valentino Rossi and Honda today made a joint announcement to confirm that
they will not renew their contract for the 2004 MotoGP World Championship.
After a relationship spanning four seasons which has yielded three world
titles and 33 premier-class victories, the Japanese factory and the reigning
World Champion confirmed their separation to a packed press conference just
hours after the Italian's final victory on the RC211V at Valencia."
And
"The following is a statement issued on behalf of Fortuna Yamaha Team
director Davide Brivio.

"We welcome this evening's news that the Honda - Valentino Rossi
relationship has drawn to a close. As many people know, when it became clear
that there was a possibility that Valentino would not renew his agreement
with Honda we made contact with his management team. I can confirm that our
discussions with Valentino's management are proceeding well. With the
confirmation that he shall not renew with Honda we shall proceed with our
negotiations and hope to conclude an agreement within the immediate future."

I woulda thought Hatz would be all over this news like a rash...

Yeah; WHAT news?!!?
It looks like Honda are trying to gazump him by saying "so long and thanks for all the fish" (ie. we don't
need you).
At least we now have a date as he's said that he can't reveal anything until after 31/12/2003.

 

He said that he can't (until 1/1/04).

You have a date with Rossi?! I'll bet your a pushover, Clem.

 

They must have been watching Australian Idol announcing who's gonna get
dumped.

My partner loves that shit, and I'm sometimes watching "cause it's on".
Interesting thing, although I sometimes just have to run upstairs [to the
office] because the puke factor just gets too high.
