Rossi has secured a future at Yamaha for the next two seasons in MotoGP. At the end of this lease, he will be 39 years old. Enough to qualify for retirement after good and loyal service. Really ? His boss Lin Jarvis is not convinced.
Usually, the man remains factual, pragmatic, implacably logical. Not enough to unleash the crowds, liberate the passions to launch into prospects of a bright tomorrow. But this time, Lynn Jarvis offers us a little ray of sunshine. Speaking of what the Doctor would do at the end of the next two seasons.
Two years that he will spend with Yamaha and during which he will go into battle to win this damn tenth world title. A pair of campaigns he will do with rising value Maverick Vinales with long teeth and sharp fangs.
Enough to exhaust these last forces? Even! “ He doesn't see these two years as his last. He is a leader, he starts each season with the belief that he will be the champion. But he will decide when the deadline comes ". Vale still on the handlebars after 39 years? Few people would complain about that!
Vale has not won a title since 2009 and this year he finished for the third time in a row with world runner-up status. A regularity at the forefront which does not make him an early retiree. Incidentally, if he were to win in Valencia, he would become the oldest rider to compete in MotoGP, exceeding 37 years and 213 days of age. Troy bayliss also scored in Valencia in 2006.
