Interesting :eek:

Yamaha Team Director Davide Brivio has confirmed that revered chief mechanic Jeremy Burgess will join Valentino Rossi in making the switch to the factory Yamaha team after two decades of Grand Prix racing with Honda. Burgess has been with HRC since 1983 and has won nine World Championships – one with Wayne Gardner, five with Mick Doohan and three with Rossi – making him easily the most experienced crew chief in the paddock. Three more of Rossi’s mechanics from Repsol Honda will also make the switch.

I think the answer is Yes, but in time for next season, that seems unlikely :(

Randy Mamola's comments on this and next season in general are interesting. If you want to read them check the news section at www.motogp.com

With Rossi's whole crew behind him they should be able to sort the bike so long as Yamaha give them the support they need, but I can't see them being right on the pace at the start of the season

Predictable, yes, but my money is on Colin Edwards this year.

Either way, this is going to be the season that I thought last year would have been.

Arguably the best rider on a development machine, and the other big names on proven machinery.

Oh yes!
