MotoGP: Rossi in Yamaha, announcement anticipated due to news leak

High tension between the Pesaro native and Ducati who brings Burgess & C back to Yamaha

MotoGP: Rossi in Yamaha, announcement anticipated due to news leakMotoGP: Rossi in Yamaha, announcement anticipated due to news leak

Valentino Rossi in Yamaha is equivalent to telling the open secret. Everyone knows but no one confirms, at least until tomorrow morning when, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, the double press release should take place, first Ducati and then Yamaha. The Borgo Panigale manufacturer wanted to wait until mid-August but a leak of information infuriated both the Italian and Japanese manufacturers who ultimately decided to bring it forward.

According to the Gazzetta, Rossi and Ducati wanted to part ways as "friends" but now there is high tension. Thus began a sort of "witch hunt" with exchanges of accusations involving all three parties, causing tension to rise.

Valentino will still bring "his" team to Yamaha, the one captained by Jeremy Burgess (with him in the photo) who has followed him since his entry into the premier class, with whom he won a lot and who has never linked up with the Ducati men. At this point, Casey Stoner's current team (that of Cristian Gabarrini), who had moved to Honda when the Australian moved to the Japanese manufacturer at the end of 2010, could return to Ducati.

Ducati indeed, the Borgo Panigale company will now have to choose who to partner with Nicky Hayden. The person most likely to replace Rossi is Andrea Dovizioso from Forlì who has undoubted qualities as a test rider. However, “Dovi” also has an offer from Honda which would put him on a Factory bike in Fausto Gresini's structure. Sources close to the rider, however, say that Dovizioso is really close to Ducati and it would be nice to see an Italian on the Red again, obviously with different results from those of Rossi.

    But Ducati has very little to get angry about!!
    They wanted Valentino to escape, if they had listened to the wishes of the riders, not just Vale, things would have gone differently!!
    How come in Honda or Yamaha a rider gets what he wants and in Ducati he doesn't!?
    Perhaps in Borgo Panigale they are so used to SBK, where races are held with some modifications to the standard bike, that they don't understand that the MotoGP is something completely different!!
    I am very happy that Valentino is returning to Yamaha and I am sure that there will be no problems with Lorenzo!!

      There won't be any problems before the start of the prox championship. When he sees that Lorenzo is ahead of him you'll see the issues that will all come home to roost.

      I have a good offer from Ducati and Yamaha has to make a decision. They need to respect me a little more. They have to decide if they want me or Jorge (Lorenzo, ed.)." These words were said on Sunday before the MotoGP race. Evidently the words pronounced by Masao Furusawa, director of Yamaha Racing, commenting on Rossi's title in Malaysia and which also recognized Lorenzo as an important player for the house of the three tuning forks, irritated the champion from Pesaro quite a bit.

      it was the year 2009!!
      meditate people... meditate people!!

  • pierrr said:

    ...dovi in ​​ducati...we shudder...stoner "revealed" that the ducati is a motorcycle to be ridden instinctively, without reasoning... "you have to let yourself be guided by the motorbike", he said...
    Rossi was already unable to let himself go in this (assuming and not granting that this is exactly how the bike should be ridden)... let alone Dovizioso, one of the most cautious and attentive riders ever seen on the track (and by his own admission !!!)... I beg you, forget it, take the Honda Gresini or stay in Tech3 and renew the challenge for next year!!!!

    1. Lyon66 said:

      News leak… you will understand…
      Ducati gave the certainty by confirming Niky.
      Furthermore, for those who consider Vale to be an evil for Ducati, the evils must be eradicated at the root.
      He does Ducati a huge favor by taking "his" team away.
      Aren't they all incompetent?
      Well: in 2013 we will see the reality of the facts.
      I only hope that Dovi evaluates carefully and receives concrete guarantees; he too has been racing in Jap for 10 out of 11 years.
      Regardless of the controversy, do you really believe he can do better than Vale without guarantees of changes?
      If he doesn't make it too, will everyone attack him by calling him boiled?
      Anyway... Forza Vale, Forza Ducati and, if things are really like this, Forza Dovi.

      1. giovanni said:

        if Dovi agrees to go to Ducati and Rossi, as they say, he goes to Yamaha. the one who has to lose in the image is Rossi, because if you have to do better than Rossi in ducati, and Rossi takes his pay from Lorenzo and the wave, we must say that Rossi sunk the ducati for 2 years. Greetings Giovanni

      2. Lyon66 said:

        IoGiovanni
        If anything he will have lost the bet, in terms of image I don't think anything will change.
        Uncle or not uncle, phenomenon or not, there's a lot of business going on in MGP, or rather... he's the 65% business in terms of sponsors and ratings.
        He didn't win with Ducati and, therefore, failed to achieve the record of winning with all the manufacturers he raced with.
        However, SBK remains: it can obtain the record of having won in all categories, a record that not even the legendary Ago has equaled (the only one who has won more than him).
        Then if you are convinced that Dovi Come Quando can be better than Vale, I respect your opinion but I doubt it, if you allow me.
        Mine wasn't meant to be a criticism of Andrea, I thought it was understandable; I'm just afraid that he too risks spending a few years in the rear and being burned or worse that the masses will define him as a boilerplate.
        As I wrote before, he spent 11 years of his career on a Jap motorbike and, as Pierrr says, he is an attentive rider with very clean trajectories.
        When he places his back on the DD16, an indomitable beast, what will happen when entering the corner at the first of his braking moments?
        Nobody likes falling or getting hurt... Result? decline in performance to finish races.
        You will certainly disagree with my opinions and, honestly for Dovi, I hope I'm wrong. We will see.

      3. pierrr said:

        and in fact, Lyon66, in my opinion one of the reasons why Rossi with Ducati has never managed to express himself is precisely what you indicated... no one likes to get hurt... and I don't think it would be much different for Dovi... I remember an interview with him from last year in which he talked about Stoner and Simoncelli (if I remember correctly), who he often couldn't keep up with... he said very candidly that some drivers are completely crazy in his opinion, and he, all that malice and madness in driving, he still couldn't put it there... "not yet", for me it means "never"... I see him in Ducati very badly, I don't know what to say!! Should he go there, I hope he can prove me wrong!

    nice cleanliness in the Ducati garage, who knows we will be able to beat the Japps again, time to regroup and make a frame with petrol inside, naturally the displacement is 1300cc.
    if it's true THANK YOU DUCATI.
    and they all lived happily ever after the happiest?? THE UNCLE great maneuverer and tireless worker. sparkling wine always with an official announcement.
    ps super OK for Cristian Gabarrini and his boys.

      HAHAHAHAHAHAH GREAT I'M SICK FROM LAUGHING, I'LL ENGAGE MC MCOY HE KNEW HOW TO DO WITH THE REAR REAR

      1. Lyon66 said:

        @Pode3
        Ok and for the front?
        The DD16 problem is that…;-)

      2. Pode3 said:

        Ninth, if you want to take corners with the Ducati, leave the front alone, if on the penultimate lap it's not yet up to temperature, what do they do with it? you have to turn it all on the gas!!!! Only Stoner could do that right? but then who was it that crashed every other race at the entrance to the curve in 2009-2010?

      3. Lyon66 said:

        Right, like always running wheelies; you can use the front tire for 2 races due to wear.
        Is it the savings effect due to the spread?

    2. Paul said:

      Yes… like when they kicked Loris in the ass to get Melandri… great season….

  • gae said:

    As for who made the mistake, the answer is simple, Valentino Rossi declared that the driver makes the difference... you can say a little... then I would like to spend a few lines on yesterday's comment by Nici Cereghini who, praising Rossi's choice, also defined it as courageous.. Does it take that much courage to return with the best bike of the moment? but I say Nico are you maybe fooling us?

    1. Lyon66 said:

      @gae
      if you don't like it Vale and all those who speak well of it ok.
      To me, who went to read the article you mentioned, it seemed to me that I was reading an objective Nico Cereghini who also said that he expected something more from Vale.
      Furthermore, if you read correctly, he means courage to get involved with a Lorenzo who is currently "very strong"

    2. pierrr said:

      …how do you define it? when in theory you no longer have anything to prove to anyone, after two years of forced fasting, how do you define the choice to go and be a teammate to the strongest rider of the moment, if not courageous???? If he doesn't go, it will be the end of his career in MotoGP... think about it for a moment, it's not a small comparison he's getting himself into!! All the alternatives were less risky than this one, think about it!

  • DDDDDDDDDDDD said:

    I'm very sorry for this failed marriage....but Valentino is a rider and riders want to win immediately regardless of the vehicle they have....so GO IT'S OK!!!!

    1. rices said:

      marriage failed because it was forced!! do you remember? valentino forced yamaha to make a choice... either me or lorenzo... yamaha responded to both... the only alternative was ducati... as honda... was already busy with stoner!

      We will see!! But for me, Dovi is better off staying away from that bike for the moment... If I were him I would really wait to see if there is this blessed potential that everyone desires!!
      If this were to be the case, however, someone should remember under whose ass the Ducati revolution began...at least for the record!! ;-)

    1. Flag71 said:

      satisfied x Vale both for the choice to return to Yamaha but also for Ducati itself, free to continue racing in MotoGP following "only" its own style.
      winning and re-winning is something else and Borgo Panigale seemed too small a reality compared to the Japanese one.
      remember the Ferrari from a few years ago.? Italian technicians, mechanics, engineers and designers but the car was not competitive.
      I make a comparison with another sporting legend, Tomba, skiing literally exploded with him and became everyone's thing, Rossi did the same with motorcycling, he sent it into another dimension, the chatter for all Valentino's detractors is “0”.

  • DDDDDDDDDDDD said:

    fatman, motorcycling is not for you….try canoeing….

    1. qrt46 said:

      in fact, some time ago I recommended cycling to him! ahahahaha

  • Dario said:

    Dovizioso will end up like Melandri in Ducati. Rossi hasn't forgotten how to go fast, this is demonstrated by the fact that when it rains with the Ducati he is very competitive. In Ducati it is better for him to go to a young rider who starts from scratch to ride a Moto GP. Next year with Rossi in Yamaha we will have a bit more fun but the championship of the future is SBK, you have to see it to believe it and Rossi will end up there if he still wants to race.

  • danilo said:

    I don't understand why Ducati continues to be considered an Italian team, Ducati is German and if it wins in a few years, it will be the Germans who win with their technology and not the Italians. Personally, when I learned of Audi's purchase, I immediately sold my Ducati for a Guzzi, and should Dovi win he will do so with a German rather than an Italian motorbike.

    1. Lyon66 said:

      @ Danilo
      If that's why Ducati was also Texan from 1998 to 2005 but, Danilo, beyond everything...
      Why did you sell yours?
      With all due respect to Moto Guzzi (Piaggio) you had a “Ducati” and an Italian one at that.
      If it were to remain German forever, your "Italian original" would have had an increase in value every year...
      Too bad, regardless of the points of view for the bike.
      Ps: sorry if I allowed myself to pass judgment on your choice, personally I would have kept it. ;-)

    2. pierrr said:

      …so, if I bought a Lamborghini I would be buying a German car, while if I bought a Chrysler, for example, I would be buying an Italian car…right?
      if tomorrow Piaggio were to sell Guzzi to Hyundai, you would end up with a Korean motorbike... have you thought about that??? ;))

  • Lupoalberto67it said:

    I'll go against the grain, but in my opinion, anyone who puts their butt on a Ducati next year will make a good choice for two very simple reasons:
    If he went slowly he would have the excuse that the same house also happened to a fairly famous and winning driver….
    if it went like a train it would all be thanks to his infinite talent...
    And I agree that Valentino's choice is courageous, if he had taken pay from Lorenzo he would have ended his career.
    The minimum is that he wins enough races to remain in the fight for the title with his teammate, Honda will be a spectator at least next year, and makes us have fun.

    this is fantastic news! The sooner it arrives the better! I'll be back to supporting Ducati. the big loser in all this is needless to say the doctor who walks away with his head down with his tail between his legs... anyway it was fantastic. I'll see the races in which he battled with Barbera, Bautista and Abraham, for whom the 46 often even acted as a stopper! :D but did he leave the second one he had in his hands to Lorenzo at Yamaha? Ducati is for real and courageous men! and this year he wears the number 1 on his hull! sometimes he becomes a legend with 9 titles, sometimes he only needs 1.

  • Lupoalberto67it said:

    Sorry, everyone acting like fans and criticizing Rossi or Stoner or Lorenzo, but why don't we try to say that each of these is a Mr. Champion?
    The fact that Valentino failed with Ducati does not take anything away from what he has shown throughout his career, just as the fact that Lorenzo can be a little unpleasant does not take anything away from his indisputable handle or as Stoner's particular character does not it clouds his incredible talent and ability to lead "over the problems"... well it seems like a football forum to me...
    Sorry for the outburst but since I've been following the world championship I've seen so many of those handles that criticizing them makes me sad...
    For anyone who wants to, go and watch the GPs with the various Lawson, Raney, Mamola, Spencer, Gardner, Schwantz, Lucchinelli. How can you say that one was strong and the other sucked?

    Nooooooooo the Ducati curse will also hit Dovizioso! :( Melandri, Rossi, and now Dovi too? Whoever lives will see!

  • ultimo1966 said:

    I think it's difficult to blame the prestigious Bolognese company
    less than to a driver who has won a lot and even has done so to some
    entertain with his end-of-race gags. There is one thing that gets me though
    amazed a lot in these two years and it is this: we know that Rossi
    he went with intentions of victory to Ducati to ensure that a combination
    all Italian was his last effort and then took leave of
    world of two wheels but something went wrong. It was clear
    right from the start that Valentino wasn't able to ride THAT bike.
    But he wasn't the only one, let's also remember Casey, great handler and intuitive driver
    and very fast even though he won some races and drove the D16
    Better than Rossi, he had complained a lot about that front end
    Valentino also noticed immediately (slow entry into corners, difficulty accelerating).
    Coincidentally Nicky never mentioned this thing though….
    Having said this, in spite of those who claim that the driver from Pesaro and his team are
    of imbeciles, a renovation project has been started on the D16
    a total change to stay on top. But the house of B.go Panigale insisted on
    remain the traditional Ducati. They tried to make a perimeter frame
    they tried to make an aluminum rear swingarm but what they didn't do is
    It was listening to the advice of Rossi Burgess and co.. Now I'm getting to the point I wanted to ask
    all those who consider themselves true Ducatisti, real men, do you like the Panigale?
    I ask you this because I am quoting the exact words of an article that I read when the aforementioned motorbike was released
    I said to myself: But why didn't they do it with the D16 too? You want to see that all the various advice from Rossi and co. did they end up in another project?
    Now I quote the text: Ducati means competitions, EXCELLENCE, made in Italy
    ,but it also means tradition and consolidated technical characteristics.
    The very top leaders of the prestigious Bolognese company define the Panigale 1199 as REVOLUTIONARY
    REALLY many things have changed and a new course has begun.
    New frame, new suspension, incredible electronics, even tires built by Pirelli specifically for this bike. Now I'll close the discussion
    saying but Ducati was only really interested in Valentino to race on the D16 and because they didn't work
    for it and don't tell me that the racing department is something else etc. etc. !!!

    1. Lupoalberto67it said:

      I'll try to answer you, certainly something from the races goes into production, but I don't think this is the reason for hiring Rossi.
      Suppo went to Honda and Stoner followed him for personal reasons probably following the period of inactivity in 2009 which perhaps angered someone at Ducati.
      They hired the strongest driver on the market, also Italian and crazy in the media. Nobody would have expected him to struggle so much, but in my opinion the mistake starts from afar, that is, when they branded the good Capirossi as finished who instead had been able to wean and grow the bike, bringing it one step away from the 2006 world championship despite the carambola in Barcelona caused by Gibernau had made him "invalid" for 5 GPs.
      Probably if they had kept Loris paired with Stoner and had had the humility to listen to him instead of replacing him with Melandri who didn't understand a thing they would have won more and would have a better bike.
      Unfortunately, Stoner's talent for driving anything with two wheels and an engine in an incredible way, combined with his inability to evaluate drivers well, caused what is now clear for all to see. The other bikes grow, the D16 doesn't..

      1. ultimo1966 said:

        Thank you Lupoalberto for your response. I fully agree with everything you wrote (as always you are always clear, precise and calm) I too deduced these things but the point then is that Ducati does not want to change this D16 while in production it Japanese?
        Just to remember one thing, Rossi still asked at the beginning of the season to have the tank change shape because he was having trouble leaning on it. Ducati solved the problem by applying a horrible hump to the existing tank. It doesn't seem to me that they worked well either in that case or in many others, perhaps they hoped, as they still do today, that Rossi would be able to ride their creature, but sometimes you also have to change as well as to adapt.

  • Micbatt said:

    On the one hand I'm sorry about the Rossi-Ducati divorce because I believed in it... believed in the rider's abilities and in the Borgo Panigale company.
    Valentino once again puts himself on the line and quite a bit…. it's true... he didn't win the Ducati bet.... but he returns to the pit of the Lion Lorenzo... and standing up to him this time will not be easy.
    I just hope to see a fun and hard-fought championship and I'm only sorry that Stoner won't be there to battle with them.... but above all that there is no great Sic…. that he would have been a star in the world championship and now he is a star in the sky….

  • Stoner74 said:

    Finally that "pain in the ass" Valentino is gone, I wouldn't even let him race the last grand prix, I'd give him a good job and make him wait until next year to try the Yamaha, even a bad boy would make that bike go anyway , like someone like Vale, for example…
    The phrase for the move to Yamaha would be "you like to win easy...".

    I hope Dovi comes, for me a great and underrated rider for what he has done and demonstrated.

    1. Giulio said:

      your nickname already says it all...your dear Ducati didn't even listen to Stoner...that's why it ran away from Ducati...They didn't listen to him either...as already said in another post...until Ducati learns to listen to its riders it won't go nowhere...personally I'm sorry that the Rossi-Ducati marriage didn't work but it's not possible for a manufacturer that participates in the MotoGP championship to behave like this with its riders...if you want to win a championship you have to do everything to satisfy the needs of the drivers and put them in a position to express the best they have...see Ferrari-Schumacher 1996-2006

    2. Flag71 said:

      I respond to Stoner74's curious way of seeing MotoGP.
      At the beginning of the 2011/12 season, Honda gave Stoner, who I consider to be the best talent ever, the perfect "invincible" bike. Unfortunately Casey is not a test rider, developer or anything else but so to speak "just" a great handler. and the result is that Lorenzo (now the strongest) continued to work with the team to be ahead of everyone.
      Jorge understood in the years in which he was in the team with Rossi how to work to be successful, we don't know what next year will be like but the downward trajectory of the talented Casey certainly came soon.

  • amateur said:

    In Honda and Yamaha you get what you want because everyone competes with their own style...Honda V-engine...and Yamaha in-line engines...If he asked Honda to change its manufacturing philosophy they certainly wouldn't listen...you can't ask Ducati to Revolutionize everything... in totem the engine which is the cornerstone of Ducati... the engine is the one you get paid to race with... anyway. as always said, it was not the right bike for Vale who has a clean... linear... correct ride... the Ducati is much more grumpy, engines that are always powerful and fast, sometimes difficult to manage both when entering and exiting corners... Anyway let's hope that Valentino comes back to win and that Ducati returns to the podium...even if sales are not affected by the results of the MotoGP at least as far as Ducati is concerned which, as can be seen, has done so this semester too...

    I think Pierrr is right, let alone Dovizioso, one of the most cautious and attentive riders ever seen on the track, good test rider of course but very cautious, I think that after three crashes he regrets having made that choice... I don't know why but if I were Ducati I would see better SPIES O PAZ or CRUTCHlOW

    But these automatic gates are beautiful... they are the envy of all the Jappos... I would show you how they look at them on the street... all hand-crafted and beautifully beaten... and then they exclaim very beautiful but a lot of money... they are so intrigued that they don't understand that what they spend they get back even in 10 years...their little robots are no longer worth a penny after just purchasing them...what beautiful gates the Italians make. I'm happy and proud to be the only country in the world trying to counter robot phenomena in MotoGP and in SBK. they've disappeared... they don't race anymore... they sell fewer and fewer sports bikes... but they win in MotoGP... ah... these Italians..

      Speaking of the company and Emilian pride for engines, our jewels, I agree with you however, if we want to be a little objective... I don't define the DD16 as a gate but what a disappointment...
      If we talk about SBK and road racing I'll give you my whole life but let's not talk about MGP.
      Let's be honest, please…..
      As someone said, without naming names, she saw more pilots than Armani models on the catwalk.
      Stoners?
      Credit where credit is due, regardless of the favorable circumstances but, if in 10 years of presence he has only won once and all the other drivers have failed, can you allow me to have some doubts?
      Not certainties, doubts?

        It's true, in pilot management it has always been a dump.
        Not out of nostalgia, but for example they "sacrificed" a "fair" Bayliss (despite the 2004 season being catastrophic for the whole team) for a Checa who ultimately wasn't this war lightning, in fact he didn't leave much of a mark (SBK another story).
        Melandri for Capirossi... I won't say anything about Gibernau or my blood will boil!
        From a purely technical point of view however, as I have already said, I hope that this blessed wave of fresh air arrives, any ideas? Men? Techniques? Group? But objectively the leap in quality must be made, and perhaps having kept Hayden (I hoped so) could be a good move from the perspective of having a sort of historical memory on which to base innovations/evolutions... assuming they arrive.
        Come on Ducatona, you dirty dog, you'll have to give some satisfaction!!! Here it is!!!

    I have a good offer from Ducati e
    it was the year 2009!!

    Who goes home "home" with their tail between their legs??

    article taken from the gazzetta dello sport!!

    Yamaha has to make a decision. They need to respect me a little more. They have to decide if they want me or Jorge (Lorenzo, ed.)." These words were said on Sunday before the MotoGP race. Evidently the words pronounced by Masao Furusawa, director of Yamaha Racing, commenting on Rossi's title in Malaysia and which also recognized Lorenzo as an important player for the house of the three tuning forks, irritated the champion from Pesaro quite a bit.

    Ducati has never been a choice of the heart!!
