With the money that both Yamaha and Ducati are offering him I seriously doubt that F1 is where Valentino is heading. So few have succeeded in swapping over and I have to suggest that he will not hack it.
We should all enjoy the times that he is racing bikes as truly he is something VERY special, they do not come along very often. However wait and see a real challenger when Dani Pedrosa steps up. He has everything that Valentino does apart from that very cheeky personality.
There are still a lot of races to go but it is all about the battle for second in my opinion now and I am keeping my money on Melandri to win that battle. If Rossi continues he will win by a record margin and I will be there to see the last race in Valencia as I was to see the first at Jerez.
There are likely to be a few retirements at the end of this season, the names Barros,Biaggi,Gibernau easily come to mind.
