Yamaha already has the 1-2 punch with Lorenzo and Rossi. The problem with Rossi is that he's a perennial #2 and not the #1 punch (and really he's only got himself to blame)
What's interesting is the Lorenzo gamble which could lead to historic legacy changes within the sport. If he can bring a losing team to a win/championship, much like what Rossi did to Yamaha after leaving Honda, he stands a chance of elevating his legacy close, if not the same to Rossi levels.
I'm still never gonna like JL though. He may be a great rider and can win races but like Stoner, they both don't know how to win the people. Vinales though... looks poised to be not just a winner, but a likeable one as well.
