46 back on the M1 : Honda CBR 600RR Sportbike Forum : 600RR.Net

"The final race in Valencia will be “very emotional,” Rossi said, “because I find a good atmosphere and good people to work and to make the race together. And I always make a group with my team, but not for choice, but because is like this. Maybe it’s my character. For sure it will be very hard to say ciao to the guys. But at the same time we’re not able to achieve any good results so is a good decision for me and I cannot wait to ride the M1.”

He also talks about Stoner being the only one to "master" the Duc

I'm looking foward to watching VR next season already, sad i know :P

AleksV · 11-02-2012, 12:36 AM

I'm really excited to see this guy back on the M1, not gonna lie

Dynamic · 11-02-2012, 12:52 AM

It should make next season more interesting with all the team changes. Can't wait to see what the rookie does on the Honda and hope it's not a repeat of what happened to Spies this season.

CBR Time · 11-02-2012, 05:51 AM

yep, just how will Marquez pan out in his first year is anyones guess?

Same. I hated not having it this year, but being new to the sport, I couldn't justify the money.

That's because he does.

Hindsight being 50/50, I'm sure he wishes he could get the past 2 years back.

Good to see the Fiat livery on their too.

TheX · 11-02-2012, 02:09 PM

I can't believe they haven't fired the people running the Duc team yet.

CBR Time · 11-02-2012, 02:43 PM

Rossi's crew chief of course is following him to Yam

hellomoto_25 · 11-02-2012, 03:06 PM

It's been extremely frustrating to watch him on the Duc. Can't imagine how it's been for him to ride the damn thing.

I just wish he woulda come back to Honda.

Tekniqs · 11-02-2012, 03:19 PM

CBR Time · 11-02-2012, 03:46 PM

LOL this is too funny, haven't seen this one

You Tube

CBR Time · 11-02-2012, 03:49 PM

LOL another one, if they were in cars

You Tube

BLUETORI · 11-02-2012, 04:00 PM

That last vid was hilarious.

Rad Rage · 11-03-2012, 03:21 AM

Is that a new pic or the one from Estoril hence the special livery?

I cant say how excited I am for the new season to start..... Now that Pedrosa has that newly found aggression (compared to his past seasons) it would be awesome to see some 3 way battles at the top with VR, JLo and Dani. Can't wait!

CBR Time · 11-03-2012, 08:14 AM

Def would be awesome to see that, new pic? prob not but maybe? its from SR site. You would think any new pics will be out after Valencia

BLUETORI · 11-03-2012, 08:45 AM

I love how Jorge and Vale fight will def be fun.

makct04 · 11-05-2012, 10:27 AM

I just hope Lorenzo and Rossi go back to fighting/battling each other it'll make it easier for Pedrosa to win.

**sincalirider** · 11-05-2012, 11:17 PM

I think I'm more excited for Marquez's rookie year.

CBR Time · 11-06-2012, 05:54 AM

yup looking forward to watching him out there as well, how long do you think he will take to get on the podium? do you think he will get on the podium at all?

BehindTheGreenDoor · 11-06-2012, 09:38 AM

That picture is from 2009. It was a special livery they ran in Estoril I believe.

3 races....

CBR Time · 11-06-2012, 11:42 AM

3, ill say 5 ;)

BehindTheGreenDoor · 11-06-2012, 12:21 PM

IMHO, this just emphasizes how much Stoner retiring SUCKS. Next year would have been the year where;

All 4 aliens would have been on competitive bikes for the first time
Dani (hopefully) would have continued to be fit and healthy with confidence to attack
Marquez moving up to a good bike and maybe have a JL type rookie season
