yeah read the Lorenzo not running #1 plate? whats everyones take on that? personally id run it for sure, i like what Stoner did, #1 with his small #27 in the lower corner
Makes you think how much $$$ they offered him compared to satellite Yami and if that was the deciding factor or perhaps Yami didn't want him anymore and this was his only option.
^ Yup lean angles = crazy lol, and haha ya maybe who knows? i know back in the days w Doohan & Rainey after a world championship win they worn #1 plate the following year. Was Rossi the first to not Run #1 plate maybe? Then again, he is "46" so "1" would look funny lol
I think barry sheene was the the 1st not to change to the #1 plate (?), also the 46 was rossi's fathers race number so maybe thats why he's always run that plate, plus like you said rossi is 46, the whole world knows it.
I've seen pics of the number 1 on his leathers though
Seeing how even with the disaster of the last couple Ducati years Rossi's been #1 over half the time he's been riding. If he would have run #1 plates he would have only run #46 eight times in his career of 17 years. I think the reason to not run #1 was similar to Sheene but in hindsight it was pretty shrewd as he's turned the number 46 into a brand. Had he run the championship number we'd have to rack our brains remembering what his number is half the time. Anyone remember what Doohan's number was? Right? Rossi will be selling merchandise with the number 46 on it long into his retirement while Doohan does another insurance commercial for extra money.
He's probably alluding to the fact that this past season is over and referencing this year as the year to come. Makes sense to be honest. They're testing for next season or this(upcoming) season.

You're overthinking it. I just like to mess with Sincal since he's Ze Grammar-Nazi. Either way we have to get thru the end of the world before any racing will take place in 2013. :crackup:
So Jlo' really going to run 99? It's his call but I kinda liked that JL in the shape of a 1. Thought it was clever. Were it me I would have run that #1 just so Rossi would have to see it every day from the other side of the garage. Jorge has been more than magnanimous towards Rossi since he left and came back to Yamaha. Considering the stick Rossi was giving him when he showed up you'd figure he might be serving some of it back. Big on him. I think he just plans to try and soundly beat him on equal terms over the next two years. Leave it all on the track.
(Sigh), I was mentioning it because of CBR Time's comment to having something creative like Stoners... Which IMO isn't as creative as Lorenzo's... Hey man, I'll bet you 25 cents that a lot of people never noticed it.
Repsol Honda Team’s Dani Pedrosa and Marc Márquez will be unveiling the new Honda RC213V livery, with which they will compete in the premier class in 2013, in a presentation to be held on January 24th at 11am in Madrid, Spain.
