hehehheh well.. we for sure regret his hair... lol

everything starts there:

1. Vale cuts off his hair
2. Sic grows his hair
3.The hair wins fans
4. Vale feels lonely ( which is wrong!); it feels cold without the hair
5. Vale finds a way to fight back till his own hairs grows enough
it`s then decided - Sic must cut off his hair!

Hasn't anyone considered or thought this is yet another of those 'taken out of context quotes' from the media?
Vale is good friends with Marco and so would probably have just been joking about by suggesting "Well done Marco, but now cut your hair!" - all said simply in jest.
Vale wouldn't be serious about that sort of thing, especially with Marco being a friend of his anyhow & spending their 'off time' riding motocross bikes with each other.
I'm convinced it's a simple fun thing said on the spare of the moment that's been twisted and turned into what is now written......
I mean does everyone believe everything they read? I certainly don't.....it's sensible to read between the lines when it's something that's been written by journalists/media.
Think about it...... What of the quotes would get the most attention or get more readers?.....The quote here......

Quote:

"Well done Marco, but now cut your hair," Rossi said. "He has been fantastic. He has grown up and surprised me. However, he is horrendous without a helmet."

Or something a lot more plausible as...... "Well done Marco, but now cut your hair!" ....all said in a very tongue in cheek manner that's common place between friends and also what we all know & love Vale for?

I agree with Angela. And just because we can read a translation of something he has said written by a journalist, doesn't mean we know anything of the context or delivery of these quotes...

I totally agree angela!! Vale always joke's around with comments like that! He would never mean anything like that to be horrible, the press always stir things up, and change words ---- never trust some of them!!

I agree with Ange as well
Vale talks at length in his book about how the press has manipulated him and his actions since the beginning of his career. They are looking for the rivalrie, and think the king and the young upstart would be a perfect story line.
We as fans should know that vale would never ever say something like this seriously.

hoho..nothin taken too serious. he loves to joke and that's it.. it's one of his joke.. we'll know that.

“I have had two bad years at Valencia and I have some memories I would like to forget with a good result there this year – I have an account to settle! In 2006 I crashed and lost the championship and then last year I broke my hand and lost second place in the championship! It’s not the best track for us but I won there with Yamaha in my first year with them and I would like to do the same again this weekend. It’s been a fantastic season and the win on Sunday in Malaysia was great, but I am not finished yet and I want to reward my team, Yamaha and Bridgestone for a fantastic season with the best possible result on Sunday. Then we can all celebrate with a big party!”

so, did he test the yamaha 2009? what did he say?

I thought the first test with the 2009 M1 was after Valencia?
