What's the story? Rossi and Ducati (2) | MotoGP News | Nov 2011 | Crash.Net

A two part article from Crash.net.

Makes real interesting reading, and gives great insight into the Ducati's & Rossi's issues, etc, during their time together...

The article touches on the possibility of Rossi and Stoner both ending up on Factory Honda's...i would really like to see this!

I think it's a real possibility that Rossi will move to four wheels after 2012. This will especially be reinforced if the 2012 season is another stinker for him.

After reading this article Valentino Rossi: 2nd in Monza Rally Show | Motorcycle News & a couple of similar ones yesterday im more inclined to agree with Goop :thumbup: While the thought of watching Casey FLOG Wossi on identical gear is mouthwatering I can see him ( Wossi ) on the WRC circuit in 2013..

Can't see Rossi & Casey being on the same bikes at the same time, MotoGp bikes are single seaters :BLAA:

Ok, serious answer it won't happen.

All Rossi has to say & everyone will back him is 'Ive got nothing to prove racing Casey on the same bike, I got 9 World Titles already & he's got 2'.

I personally think Rossi would be scared to race Casey on the same bike, and does not want to go through his perceived indignity of being defeated by the guy he shows very little respect for his abilities and talents.

I have to agree with you on this.....I think Rossi is just past his best, and it would be a pretty straight answer if they were on the same type of bike...Stoner is younger, faster, and hungrier...Rossi would not stand a chance!

And Rossi's only got 3 more Championship's than Stoner in the Premier Class, and has been riding in the Premier Class a lot longer than Stoner...give Stoner a few more years, and he will catch up on Premier Class Championship's i reckon...


Over the last 5 years, Stoner has been far Superior to Rossi...33 Race wins to 21 race wins.

And how many of those 33 for Casey were on a bike that Rossi has only managed one very lucky podium!

Still more race wins than anyone else during the 5 year 800cc period!
