Plans For Next Season Have To Wait - Rossi

Plans For Next Season Have To Wait - Rossi

Although the championship title for the 2009 MotoGP season is not far from the sights of the Fiat Yamaha Team, its plans for the next season have to wait until the race season ends.

"The feeling is great, right now. We are on top of the championship. It is a great season and we will try to make good results.

"We would not think about our plan for the next season, yet. Right now, we have to focus for this weekend's race," said the team's rider, Valentino Rossi, when approched by the media on Wednesday.

Fresh from his 11th podium of the season in last Sunday's Australia Grand Prix at Phillip Island, Rossi made a pit stop at the Petronas MotoGP Showcase at KLCC Esplanade here.

Joining him was team-mate Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo, who is also the title contender for the 2009 FIM World Championship.

The duo had a 30-minute autograph session with the fans, organised by Petronas, the premium partner for the team.

Earlier, both riders were presented with the winning art work from a group of underprivileged students from Sekolah Kebangsaan Saujana Utama Sungai Buloh, who were participants of an outreach programme with the Petronas Sprinta Yamaha Team riders.

The Fiat Yamaha Team riders, Rossi and Lorenzo, have won 10 out of 15 races between them this year and there has only been one race when one of the pair has not been on the podium.

They would make the most successful season in the team's history.

The Malaysian leg of the 2009 MotoGP championship will take place this weekend at Sepang International Circuit.
