Valentino Rossi retires
Rossi's news will be retired (or retired) starting from the statement of Director of Monster Energy Yamaha, Lin Jarvis, two weeks ago. At that time he said that the future of Yamaha in MotoGP was no longer with The Doctor.
Still on the same occasion, Jarvis hopes there will be no dispute between Yamaha and Rossi regarding the retirement time of the 9 world champions. If you look at the current contract, Rossi will at least still race in MotoGP until 2020.
Already 40 years old, Rossi is considered to have begun to have difficulty competing with younger riders. In the 2019 MotoGP season, Rossi got the lowest point since 2002 after passing nine races.
