Rough translation, take words with grain of salt:
Sometimes, despite the victory there is nothing to celebrate . And 'what is happening to the Yamaha team in MotoGP, after having already put on board the headlines brands and teams expected on Sunday to find out who between Rossi and Lorenzo will win the drivers' championship. The triplet is served but things went very differently than expected.
The sponsor Movistar had already organized a big party for next Thursday, the best way to celebrate a great season, but decided to take a step back . The controversies that have affected the World Championship made him change his mind and cancel the party is a clear signal.
The storm has affected all the protagonists of the championship and the brand Movistar he was hit twice, both in the role of title sponsor of Yamaha team both as holds television rights for Spain's championship. The journalist Emilio Pérez de Rozas, in an article in El Periodico says that the communication officers of Movistar believe that their company's image has been damaged by the behavior of Rossi in the Malaysian GP and do not see even good eye on the position of Lorenzo as a team, which was put in a corner.
The Spanish brand has invested millions of Euros in sponsorship and TV rights and at the moment the investment is delivering results opposite to those expected . Movistar has a contract that binds to Yamaha for 2016, but are not excluded twists.
Only a few days ago Repsol sponsors the Honda factory team, he expressed his embarrassment after what happened last week, threatening even an exit from MotoGP.
