Is the press bored? It's only been two weeks since the last Grand Prix, but rumors are rife in the virtual journalists' paddock...

After the eviction of Tito Rabat from the Esponsorama team, denied by the driver himself, it is now the turn of Valentino Rossi to be the target of the speculations of our specialist colleagues.

With a lot of question marks and conditionals, we are told that the multiple Italian champion could announce this week his retirement at the end of the year.

Ok, and he could also get married, have children and open a private beach in Riccione with electric bicycle rentals… Anything is possible!

More seriously, with the fear he experienced in Austria, the long-awaited signing with Petronas seems to be the main element behind this rumor. But according to our information, it is not the Doctor who is reluctant to sign, quite the contrary…

Some specialist journalists, never short of imagination, even imagine that Andrea Dovizioso could take the Italian's place at Petronas.

We have no information on this, but if we had to bet a ticket on an Italian driver who would soon announce his retirement, it would undoubtedly be on Dovizioso that we would bet, the man already announcing for weeks to his close entourage this desire to take a step back from motorcycle competition!

Afterwards, everyone has the right to change their mind and nothing is impossible: Whoever lives will see...
