An announcement about

[Chequered Flag Racing]

2011 will be made after the race on Sunday

say's Rossi on MotoGP website

[Chequered Flag Racing]

he's left Yamaha and gone to Ducati as expected

[sime46]

Surprise? Worst ever kept secret. Good luck to the doctor.

[Skodes]

Really hope he takes Lorenzo to the cleaners next year.

Watching Quali on Eurosport yesterday though, didn't someone mention that Yamaha's chief designer/engineer (can't remember what they said he does now) is leaving at the end of this year too and that this will be a massive blow to Yamaha, so Rossi might actually have made his move just at the right time? We shall see...

I wouldn't be surprised if part of the deal would be that Rossi moves to Ducati WITH his team

[lochness42]

I really belive that he will take his personal team with him as he did with his move to Yamaha.

there was something in the press a few months back that Ducati had told some of their MotoGP staff to look for employment in 2011

Masao Furusawa is retiring end of season, early next year. This guy listend to Rossi when he came to Yamaha and sorted out the back room staff that make the bikes and got the job done.

Will that change to 'The Surgeon' if he can get that front end on the Ducati to work?
