Valentino Rossi 2011 the silly season already (MotoGP)? | SEO Talk Now

After reading this article from motoGPmatters.com

two bits stuck out at me
Yamaha are trying to sign Rossi to a lifetime deal, to keep hold of Rossi’s peerless marketing clout even after the Italian has retired.
and
“I don’t think I can convince Valentino to continue racing (after 2010), but I’ll certainly do my best to make sure he’s on a Yamaha if he does,”
Do you think any of this has to do with the Ducati rumours ?
And are we going to see Rossi and Lorenzo fighting for their place in 2011. in a winner takes all situation. Assuming Ben “Has” been guaranteed a factory ride for 2011.
@ Girl Racer, Im still assuming Ben has a Guaranteed Ride for 2011. leaving the duel with Rossi and Lorenzo. unless there is a performance clause in his contract. who can say ?
@ the saint, Rossi is contracted to ride for Yamaha next season and Im sure the penalty he would recieve from Yamaha to go to Ducati will stop any move this year.
