I was hoping VR would spit the dummy more & leave motogp as I'm sick of his & his fans crap. As I'm AUS Stoner has my loyalty & honestly sick of reading about people complaining he isn't a PR machine, his livelihood was racing bikes, not making people happy because he can act like a clown off the bike. He was not impressed with Honda because they wouldn't let him fill in for botboy when injured & felt they didn't utilize him enough at testing, again honesty not PR propaganda. Like everybody who wants to watch racing it would be great for him to come back & there is a good chance he will do some races with duc (if they let him) if he was keen to do some with Honda when botboy injured. It will be an interesting season with the changes happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Switchblade Posted January 23, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 23, 2016 585 views Marquez breaks merchandising contract with Rossi’s companyMarc Marquez has broken his contract with VR46 Racing, the clothing company owned by Valentino Rossi, to supply his merchandising for the 2016 season. The Spaniard has instead signed a multi-year agreement to have his merchandise supplied by Gruppo Pritelli, which already supplies Jorge Lorenzo as well as numerous other MotoGP riders, including Andrea Iannone, Andrea Dovizioso and Aleix Espargaro. It is unclear whether this affects Marquez's younger brother Alex, who also has an agreement with VR46. The split between Marquez and VR46 follows the bitter on-track dispute between the two-time champion and Rossi at the end of last year. Rossi, who lost out on the title to teammate Lorenzo by...

Reports are Rossi has to perform well in the first races to kept his contract with Yamaha . Reports where? Hell will almost certainly freeze over before Yamaha sacks the most popular and successful MotoGP rider the sport has ever seen. Besides, such a provision would have to have been included in his contract--I can see no reason why Rossi would have agreed to such a clause in his second Yamaha-comeback contract (probably negotiated during a season in which he eventually finished second in the championship). Marquez is going to have to pay to break his contract with VR46, as would Yamaha if they broke theirs with Rossi--but you can bet that the latter would cost a lot more than the former! As an aside, I was about to order the latest Motocourse annual on Amazon.co.uk, when I noticed this: I think that must have been the "pre-publication" pic...

Rossi and his legion are 30% of the MotoGP pie from a monetary standpoint and Dorna will continue to kiss his azz until VR decides to hang it up.

Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted January 24, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 24, 2016 I forget. What place did Marc finish last season? I know Jorge won the championship and Rossi won 2nd. Pedrosa looked more competitive than Marc in the last race in spite of Marc supposedly trying to win that race. I get so confused when I read anti Rossi diatribes. I will try harder to understand what Marquez and Lorenzo fans see in their champions. I would love to see Stoner come back and be competitive but I think that ship has sailed. Quitters get better at one thing and that is quitting. I hope I am wrong though. I am really looking forward to seeing how next season pans out. I read every post here and came up with bupkiss. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I believe the technical term for Stoner's exit from the MotoGP championship at the end of 2012 was "flouncing"... Another angle on the MM93/VR46 contract story could be that the management of the VR46 merchandising operation (which, I understand is undertaken by senior members of the VR46 Fan Club) has repudiated their contract by indicating in some way that they would not be fulfilling the terms of the contract in the future. Absent a signed letter from VR46 management stating as much, however, it is not easy to prove this. MM93 trying this tactic in a highly charged commercial context like the MM93/VR46 war would basically amount to a full-employment agreement with his lawyers...
