You’ve all been hearing the latest rumors that legendary crewchief Jeremy Burgess, will not be following Valentino Rossi in Ducati but he’s going to Honda to help fellow Australian Casey Stoner in his switch to the Japanese team.
Speaking with GP Week the Aussie laughed off the rumor with “Oh, it’s Honda this week? It was Ducati last week” and “there have been no formal discussions.
” Apparently the hot rumor picked up steam when Shuei Nakamoto, HRC Vice President said that he’d hoped that once Valentino Rossi retired, his friend Burgess would consider returning to Honda.
Despite Burgess confirming his committment and loyalty to Yamaha, according to the commentators of Italia 1, who often have an inside line to Valentino Rossi’s entourage, reported during yesterday’s race at Laguna Seca, that Burgess will be almost a 100% heading to Ducati with his rider.
The Brno GP scheduled for August 15th should be day when Rossi announces his move to Ducati and we may also know who of his current team will be following him.
