Moto GP 2007 Sweepstake

[isaidno]

World 250cc champion Jorge Lorenzo will partner Valentino Rossi at the Yamaha MotoGP team next season.

The 20-year-old Spaniard, who is leading his championship again this season, has agreed a two-year deal.

"Weve been watching Jorge's career with interest for some time and we are delighted he is joining us," said Yamaha racing boss Lin Jarvis.

"We're sure he'll be a valuable asset and we look forward to the commencement of his MotoGP career."

Spanish rider Toni Elias says he will return to action at the Czech Grand Prix in Brno, although he reckons he will be riding at 60% of his full capacity.

Elias has missed the last three races after fracturing his femur in a crash during the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen.

The Gresini Honda rider undertook an intensive rehabilitation programme and he expects to be back on his bike in Brno, the next race of the calendar, on 19 August.

"When I crashed at Assen, I set a goal in my mind of a return at Brno, and I think that we have achieved this," the Spaniard said on MotoGP's official website.

"I won't be 100%, more like 60%, but it is time to get back on with my job and start to ride again.

"Brno might be difficult in the turns for me with my leg, but we have to see when I get there. I have been undergoing a lot of rehabilitation here and I think that the treatment has worked well."

Tech 3 Yamaha are a privateer Yamaha team, there getting better. They should be good next season with James Toselaand riding for them.

Stoner unstoppable at the moment. Sad to say though the great racing we used to have has turned into a bore this year.

Shame I haven't been on here for months otherwise would have had a stab at this.
