Default Rossi - Will he or Won't he???

http://www.visordown.com/motorcyclen...mail&attr=news

Looks like he's got an interest. Finished 2nd at Monaza. Do you think he'll make the switch?

I think he will as he hasn't got anything else left to prove in Motogp.

I'm thinking the same thing. If he's got 2 seasons left on his contract I reckon he'll jump then... unless he has a couple of tough seasons.

I think he'll do it and finish his motorsport career back on bikes.

Would be interesting to see how things go in MotoGP if he makes the move. I reckon Lorenzo's got a good shot next season.

It will be a retirement, basically, if he goes to rally driving (presumably in the WRC). I don't think he'd leave with a possible unglorious return to motogp as a WRC failure in mind either, and I really don't see him in WSB, do you? (As great as that would be).

I'd be amazed if he would be genuinely competitive in WRC. It would be akin to Schumacher in motorcycle racing if he does it; just for fun.

He will have to leave MotoGP one day, maybe a little more than two years away, but I am sure he will move on to either Rally or Touring Cars like most do.

He was also doing tests for Ferrari at one point wasn't. Word on the street was that he wasn't far off Schumachers time round their test track.

Apparently he quite fancied a move to WSB, but I guess that was before someone gave him a go in a rally car. I could see him doing ok in rally, but a bit like Schuie on bikes... quick but not a race winner.

Speaking of which - Honda Euro boss, schuie, WSB???? Surely its a PR stunt.

Blimey that would get some coverage, wouldn't it?? Besides, never say never with someone like 'im. Obviously the machinery's different but transferable skills n'all that...?
