Do a quick google search and you will see that rumours are rife linking the Italian, Valentino Rossi to a move to Ducati. The two-wheeled genius has come out rubbishing reports along with his crew chief Jeremy Burgess stating that he has a contract with Yamaha for next year.
Me personally, I think that Rossi is ready to hang up his leathers and make the move to rallying. Rossi has mentioned that he would like to end his career on an Italian bike and that is what he is doing methinks. Rewind a few years back to 2003 and remember how he denied rumours that he was moving to Yamaha – we all know how that turned out.
Then there were the rumours before Yamaha popped up that he was planning a move to Ferarri in Formula 1. That stemmed from Rossi’s boredom in MotoGP and lack of any form of challenge – then came Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner, the latter who won a World Championship crown during Rossi’s tenure. There is no doubt that Rossi will win this year’s title against Pedrosa and Stoner…what challenge is now left?
The Yamaha denial aside, can we take what Rossi denies at face value – he did after all state that he will never race with cigarette sponsorship on his bike…what are Camel and Gauloises?
