MotoGP – Misano – Valentino Rossi: "Dangerous to confirm Lorenzo"

Nobody expected it and instead at Misano Valentino Rossi "thundered" against Yamaha, guilty of having renewed the contract of his team-mate Jorge Lorenzo. A bolt from the blue that shook the day at Misano and brings to mind Rossi's words towards Ducati uttered in Indianapolis. A discontent therefore generated by Lorenzo's renewal for Yamaha for the 2010 season. Here are Rossi's words as reported by SportMediaset.

“The manufacturers have only one top rider – said Rossi – this is a bit of a strange situation for Yamaha. I'll have to decide what to do. Yamaha has two strong riders and this is very productive for the company because it is also an advantage in the constructors' championship. However, in history the manufacturers have only had one top rider, this situation at Yamaha is a bit strange. For next year I have the contract already signed, then I will have to decide what to do."

“Of course – he said in the United States – seeing me on the Ducati would be really nice for everyone. In fact, I want to congratulate Filippo Preziosi because in my opinion he is a true phenomenon." And the person directly involved did not take long to respond to Vale's sweet message: “Being defined as a phenomenon "by" the phenomenon is truly pleasing. Rossi is always a very nice and pleasant guy. As for the pilot, it goes without saying that someone like this is of interest to any house.”
