Title: Goodbye uncle Gerry
Post by: slimwilly on 07 November 2013, 08:38:25 pm

So Gerry and Rossi split next year, i reckon Gerry should of retired first.


He is the master of pushing riders forward,,Mick and Valentino, untouchable.

Wonder if he'll retire or work with another rider?

think it was badly handled by Rossi/team manager and left  bad taste after years of loyalty and commitment....

Still pride comes before a fall - who remembers him saying that he could sort the Ducati front end problem in short order when he was still at Yamaha the first time but it's still there after 2 years so maybe he wasn't quite the miracle worker that lots of people held him up to be.  Nevertheless a shabby end to an exceptional career and he deserved better in my opinion.

He should of stuck an R1 front end on it. It worked for my shabby handling machine.
