Between Valentino Rossi and the Petronas Yamaha team, it's like Pol Espargaró and Repsol Honda: inevitable! However, we must be clear on the last details which, on closer inspection, are not details. For example, the Doctor wants to settle down with his clan. Which poses organizational problems. These should not all be settled before the first meeting in Jerez, mid-July. But we will be rewarded for our patience with good news!
Valentino Rossi a 41 and it is certain that he will continue one more year. Only ? The father Graziano is amused by the fact that the ideal time to pick up would be 46 years, in relation to the number which has become identity. But that would be a challenge. Nevertheless 43 years should be considered before withdrawal.
According to sources said to be close to the matter, located in Iwata, Valentino Rossi would in fact have a two-year lease in perspective. We do not know if it would be a firm two-year lease or a one-year lease with an option. But going until 2022 would not scare Vale. In terms of numbers, we currently have David munoz chief engineer, responsible for telemetry Matthew Flamigni and the mechanic Alex Briggs.
What next, team leader?
So much for the near future. But some are already planning beyond. Take the case of the inevitable Charles Pernat. The manager and chronicler of the Grands Prix supports his thesis of Valentino Rossi leader. A destiny that would necessarily place him outside the fold Yamaha .
If the ambition is validated, in theory onlyAprilia et Suzuki who do not yet have the satellite team. The heart of Feathered obviously leans towards its old brand of Noale, which launched Vale. So he would end up where it all began… but at Suzuki also officiates a Davide Brivio who was very close to the Doctor in his career…
