Not really, but stuff like that gets about.

Whether I believe it or not is a different matter.

What'd be the point? None of the teams can display tobacco sponsor
branding anymore. Even the Yamahas spent the last year of Gauloises
sponsorship with 'GO!!!!!!!!!' plastered up the fairings.

As if there was ever any doubt. Me and the missus were talking about how his
departure would be handled 2 laps before Fabriio crossed the line.

That I didn't know, but nothing surprises me anymore.

If the silly rumours are anything to go by, then "up to the spuds in Stoners
missus" would be a fair guess, but the rumours are obviously shite.

I'd heard the rumours, but don't give them any credence.

I suppose the "making way for Rossi" theory might have something to
