If there is one word to describe Jorge Lorenzo's renewal of his contract with Yamaha, it is surely inevitable. But inevitable or not, it certainly took a very long time to settle, as the official announcement that the Spaniard - and MotoGP champion-nearly-elect - had signed a new two-year deal with Yamaha only came today, in early October, just over a month before the 2010 season ends.
Despite not having anywhere else to go - nor even particularly wanting to go anywhere else - Lorenzo held out on a new contract for a long time. Paddock rumor suggested that Lorenzo was trying to squeeze the very last few Yen out of Yamaha's salary budget, but despite earning a reputed 8 million euro under the new deal, the devil was more likely in the detail of control over development and position in the team. With the formula reverting back to 1000cc in 2012, Lorenzo went for a two-year deal, allowing the Spaniard to help steer the development of Yamaha's new liter contender from a very early stage.
