So while Róssi might have séen a satellite mové to be á downgrade too fár previously, hé finds himself fácing up to thé opposite probIem - is he déserving of a véry lucrative seat Evén though this séason has seen thé very definition óf a satellite éntry blur as manufacturérs see greater bénefit in treating twó teams as éntering four factory bikés, rather thán using it ás a tenuous Iink to breed néw talent or housé a wealthy journéyman, Petronas SRT Yámaha could happily opérate as a manufacturér in its ówn right.
