MotoGP: Valentino Rossi will have to decide without having raced and this is what he intends to do

In an interview organized by Yamaha and with his teammate Maverick Viñales, Valentino Rossi spoke about his general situation in this particular situation of confinement imposed by the horrors of the coronavirus, but also about the particular case of the rest of his career. A decision awaited, including by his boss Lin Jarvis who announced that the countdown was coming to an end. The Doctor is aware of this, and here is what he thinks…

This is a question that many people are waiting for an answer to: Valentino Rossi in 41 tons, will he choose retirement at the end of his contract, or continue his career. At the house of Petronas Yamaha, we are the first concerned by the decision of a Doctor who received assurance from Yamaha to have this handlebar…

Vale responds: “ This is a difficult situation for me. Because I want to continue, I have the motivation for that. But during the last part of the 2019 season, I encountered difficulties, I was not fast enough to fight for the top 5 places. That's why I said I needed 5 or 6 races before deciding to assess my level. »

“The only thing is, we’re not running. At best we will do it in August or September if all goes well. So, I'll have to decide without shopping. And it would be a shame to stop without having had a season in 2020. So I want to continue, have a 2021 season and maybe stop at the end of 2021, because my intention is not to stop now. »

Yamaha Petronas can therefore begin to think about the integration of the Doctor who also recalled that he had a new chief mechanic... As for Lynn Jarvis, he is reassured about the deadlines.
