I read a post on SOUP (I think- but maybe not) yesterday that commented on the fact that Nicky would move to Yamaha when Rossi left. Nicky is stuck developing new machines and the times are a little off the leaders. Why? 'Cause he's developing bikes. You can't get your best laps on a bike you keep changing settings on. Vale may not count on Nicky being there to contend, but I believe HRC won't let Nicky ride the season out without thinking that he can win races. They (HRC) are getting as much test info as possible before the season starts.

Re: Alonso says he'd podium in GP

As the British say- "He's a wanker" Alonso couldn't hang with GP boys at all. Rossi (ralley car enthusiast) has skills to drive four wheels. He'll be top 5 in champ points in his first year.
