Re: Rossi going back to Yamaha
Well, how good was Casey Stoner ! I am surprised at the move, to me it seems as tho, he has thrown his hands in the air and said "I give Up" I haven't heard if Jeremy is going to Yamaha with him ? I hope Casey gets the respect he deserves for giving Ducati a Championship, no one else has b...
