Valentino Rossi - Yamaha deal to be announced tomorrow
After the Italian media anticipated on Tuesday the not-so-shocking news that Valentino Rossihas decided to return to Yamaha next season and the announcement would be made on August 15th, however Italian sports daily Gazzzetta dello Sport is now reporting that following the ‘leak,’ Ducati and Yamaha have mutually decided to anticipate the official announcement to tomorrow, Friday August 10th around 9:00 am CET.
As it usually happens in these cases, Ducati will be the first to announce that Rossi will be leaving the team at the end of the season with all the customary nice words that accompany these things and several minutes to half and hour later Yamaha will announce Rossi’s return that will probably include all the impressive stats that he obtained during his previous seven year reign with the Japanese manufacturer - four World titles and 46 wins.
So check back with us tomorrow morning and see if the Italians have got it right.

Manga style for MotoGP Motegi promo poster
from http://www.twowheelsblog.com/
This anime poster promotimg this year’s 2012 round of the AirAsia Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi (after last season’s ’should I stay or should I go’ BS by riders following the Fukushima radiation fallout) is one of the best we’ve ever seen and probably depicts several MotoGP riders as we fans believe they are.
For example, Casey Stoner has that hard thousand yard stare, Valentino Rossi is depicted with his usual smiling but ironic face, Dani Pedrosa looks sort of sad, but highly concentrated, Andrea Dovizioso seems to want to get his hands on factory Yamaha, Nicky Hayden is the happy go-lucky American, Cal Crutchlow, our personal favourite, has that crazy look in his eyes that has endeared him to fans and an uncharacterically scary looking Jorge Lorenzo, the only one missing from the group is Ben Spies. More bad luck or just an oversight?
