    Rossi is my favorite racer and I'm happy he's back on the Yamaha. But he isn't getting any younger, and Lorenzo and Pedrosa are at their peaks. Maybe the different bike specs will help Rossi? I'm just hoping for an entertaining season.

    I have to agree with him. No doubt he'll be competitive, but I think he'll see more 4th/5th places, then he will 1st/2nd. But you never know, I'd love to see him back winning championships!

    I think time has proven that rossi can never be counted out he has always proved that betting against him is a bad bet. Trust me once he is back on a competitive machine he will show why he has so many world titles to his name.

    It's not like he retired for two years and then came back. Everything that comes out of Rossi's camp will just be head games. (Business as usual.)

    I'm looking forward to Catalunya and a repeat of 2009.

    I hope he does well, but I think it will be hard for him to fight for a podium. Do I think he will land on the podium...yes, but not as frequently as we were all accustomed to during his previous stint at Yamaha. I can only imagine how much of a toll it took on his mentality while at Ducati. What I do not want to happen, is for him to go down in flames. With Ducati fielding 4 bikes, it seems almost imperative for him to beat them. Especially Hayden since Hayden finished routinely better on the Duc than Valentino. Looking at the people he has to beat... Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Marquez, Hayden.... Those are not easy guys, and he's beat them before. But on his first year back, and Lorenzo and Pedrosa extremely battle hardened over the last two seasons... Rossi has his work cut out for him. It will be good to see how he does. Testing is in a couple weeks. Seeing how Jorge and Rossi stack up will be interesting
