Rossi? The deal gives Crutchlow, who has had four podium finishes for Yamaha's satellite team Tech 3 this year, a MotoGP factory ride for the first time. the only way up was onto a factory ride, no room at honda no room at yamaha (who pretty much did the dirty on him any way by going straight to Espargaro 1st) Ducati was the best option, Yamaha really have been short sighted over this, i hope it works pity i might not see it.
