Will Rossi and Burgess make the M1 a winner?

I love this exerpt from a Mat Oxley article in RRW:

The M1 may lack adequate feel but it also suffers from too frequent set-up changes. Yamaha builds a massive amount of adjustability into its racebikes, too much, say many critics, because bike racing is all about feel and confidence, and a rider will never have that if the set-up of his bike changes every time he climbs aboard. Rossi's crew plans to change this. "When we get there, we'll ask Yamaha for the settings they used at all 16 GPs," said one of them. "Then we'll average them out and weld everything in place."

I have faith in the guy and Burgess. Together they make a deadly combo, even on the M1. I'm not going to make any predictions but if Rossi DOESN'T win races, I'll be suprised. I really want CBRVFR to eat his words

I think ,yes. But it will take sometime don't you think!

I think he will win races int he 2nd half of the year. He may get some podiums by the 4th or 5th race of the season. The first few will be "learning experiences"

no doubt about it, if yamaha listen to what they want and them produce it, why wouldn't they win?
