MotoGP - Valentino Rossi's future career?

Hey guys, I haven't been here in ages and to be fair I kind of missed a lot... too much actually!

anyways, my point being, i remember hearing that Valentino Rossi would not be staying for too long in MotoGP (supposedly for just 2009 and 2010) and I was wondering if there is any truth in this statement. I read this last year so I don't know how much it is trust worthy... I couldn't find anything useful as information on the web so I thought I should try Y!A again

So is this his last season or is there a bigger chance of him to decide to stay?

    Hi alLe, Nice to have you back again, hope your not studying too hard.

    There are all kinds of rumours about Valentino, Mainly because he is only contracted up to the end of this year. and silly season started half way through last season for next year and 2012.

    The main part is Ben Spies getting a contract with the Yamaha Italia. Now has a ride with Tech3 But is almost certain to get a Factory ride next year. this leaves a question of who's ride. Rossi or Lorenzo. I personally feel they are riding for their seat. Rossi would have to be the favourite at the moment beating the rest in the winter testing up until last night when Stoner did his usual Qatar bit.

    Rossi says he has the spirit back and want to continue for a few more years but if he is getting beaten half way through the season he has a couple of options, Either go to Ducati (risky move but may help him get Ago's record) or quit and go Rally driving. Both options are realist and open for him. then again if he is beating Lorenzo half way through the season he will probably want to have a go at Ben and stay on the Yamaha.

    Whatever happens its going to be woth watching. the six engine rule may play a very big part in the outcome. and Ben is a lot closer to their times than they would like too.

    I cant Wait !!!

    hi Proc i think of Valentino Rossi is slightly disenchanted at Yamaha, yet no longer disenchanted adequate to go away the team any time quickly. i think his cutting-edge rant approximately Yamaha signing Lorenzo returned, is in basic terms a sign to his bosses announcing "be careful". Yamaha needs Rossi to be remembered as a Yamaha rider, so for them the final subject could be Valentino staying 2 extra seasons and getting in the past´s record. for the duration of those years he would desire to assume a hard venture from his teammate (Lorenzo and probably Spies) so the certainty that Yamaha provided "equivalent" treatment to Lorenzo, replace into no longer the final little bit of information to Vale, especially as Jorge is reaping rewards of Valentinos ´bike progression. Neither the certainty that Spies replace into predicted to alter to MotoGP in 2011, and the rumor mill now says 2010. This issues can get interior the way while searching for Agostini´s record. As Ducati is going, they for specific go with to be Champions returned, yet these days they failed at luring Pedrosa or Lorenzo, as their bike isn't called a one with Champion capacity, so I reckon bringing Rossi could be very confusing... in spite of if... ...the main extreme element i think of would be what Valentino needs, and that, all of us be responsive to can replace contained in right here few years, We now he needs to be Champion returned, that he needs in the past´s record, yet additionally be responsive to he loves the venture. Ducati would desire to get him, via offering him a super bike, on his own words, JB lined, sturdy money, and an absolute extensive type one status interior the team to assure the main wins a threat for him. Ducati is a small team and agency (while in comparison with others) yet financially isn't that small. Has fairly some sturdy sponsors. I wouldn´t ideas that test in any respect. I´m one hundred% possitive he can journey and win with the crimson beast.
