A very strong rumor is circulating that MotoGP's world champion, Valentino Rossi may swap teams with Troy Bayliss, the 2001 SuperBike world Champion.

This would mean that "Doctor" Rossi would be riding the new Ducati, while Bayliss will ride the Honda. At this moment, Rossi has not extended his contract with Honda, and is already 10 days over the deadline.

Honda's reaction to this, is that if Rossi does go to Ducati, they'd just have to build a faster bike to beat him....

Personally, I'd like to see him move back to an Italian team, specially Ducati. It's like Schumaker joining Ferrari, one legend joining another...
