As responsible, he says out loud what more and more people are thinking… “ He now faces his final chapter in MotoGP with Yamaha and I'm sure he has no plans to move to another brand. We want to work with him when he retires and he has many interesting projects lined up. Yamaha will be linked to him, but I still don't know under what conditions ».
« He is now in another stage of his life and, with all due respect, Yamaha's future in MotoGP no longer lies with Valentino Rossi. You can be here and be competitive for one, two or three more years. But our level of dependence on it has changed ". Strong and assertive words about Motosan.es.
Although he explains that the decision on the continuation of the adventure must be taken by both parties, he considers that it is Valentino who must take the plunge: “ the decision is up to both parties, although it is he who must notice that he cannot be as competitive as he would like or that his motivation is starting to wane. The first signs should come from the pilot's side, but honestly I don't think there is any conflict, because usually both sides come to the same conclusions ».
The end of the current contract between Yamaha and Valentino Rossi is planned for the end of the 2020 vintage.
