LORENZO 2011 with YAMAHA

Valentino Rossi recently found himself embroiled in contoversy about speculation that he will race for Ducati’s MotoGP team in 2011. Rossi recently shied away from comments attributed to him that “Yamaha would have to choose between Jorge Lorenzo and him for 2011.”

Now Jorge Lorenzo has added further fuel to the controversy saying that his initial plan is to stay with the Japanese manufacturer, but hinted that he “can’t guarantee anything” for the future. Lorenzo was runner up to Rossi in the 2009 Moto GP championship, pushing Rossi hard throughout the season. Rossi recorded the fewest number of wins he has ever recorded in a title season, achieving six victories during 2009, just two more than Jorge and Casey Stoner.
The Spaniard who attended a recent press engagement in Barcelona, said that he sees his future – as least as far as the 2011 season is concerned – with Yamaha but couldn’t put his finger on anything just yet. Despite his most successful season in Moto GP, attempts to sign a contract with Yamaha beyond 2010 were unsuccessful with both Lorenzo and Rossi’s contracts running out at the end of next year.
Rossi has publicly asked Yamaha to take their pick for the 2011 season, or else there are other teams (i.e. Ducati) that would be happy to sign him. We expect this story to boil over during 2010, especially if Stoner, Lorenzo and Pedrosa push Rossi as hard as they did in 2009.
Then of course World Superbike champion Ben Spies joins the satellite Tech 3 Yamaha team next year and he’s already shown how quickly he can adapt from his performance in the final race of the season in Valencia.
With Honda’s Dani Pedrosa also reaching the end of his current contract in 2010, Lorenzo might also have a few more options to choose from himself in 2011.

2011 Honda RC212V Repsol Motogp

Repsol Honda Team announced in 2011 Honda Repsol MotoGP at the Pan Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur, where the 2011 Honda RC212V will be ridden by Dani Pedrosa, Andrea Dovizioso and Casey Stoner (new breeds of Team Repsol Honda). HRC team has three riders again and reminds us of the GP500 two-stroke of the 1995 season, in which Repsol Honda Team HRC also take three rider Mick Doohan, Alex Criville and Shinichi.

“In 2011, Honda Racing MotoGP efforts is stronger than ever as we did in the 90s, we will again be a three rider strong team with a clear mission: To win the title .. Our three Repsol Honda riders know how to win a championship because they have all been world champion in the past, and we’ll give them our full support to this great challenge, “said Shuhei Nakamoto HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) as Vice-President.

The Repsol Honda Three certainly has the potential to win the Triple Crown (world champion cyclist, equipment and manufacturing), which has had three consecutive seasons in the hands of Yamaha. But it all depends on how the Human Rights Committee to make the third driver to be “one heart.”
