Lorenzo: Rossi disappointed me and his fans

The poor start to the championship for nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi has left many open debates about the rationale for continuing his career. Rossi has said many times that he will race as long as he can compete with the best. Former racer Jorge Lorenzo said he disappointed both him and his fans with poor results in Qatar. Lorenzo also noticed the similarity of the ride to him and Casey Stoner with Ducati semi-factory team racer Jorge Martin. The Italian took a modest 21st place in the last qualifiers, which is his worst result in the MotoGP class qualifiers. But it wasn’t just a bad day, as both weekends he didn’t achieve more visible results with the exception of the first qualifiers before the first race, where he finished fourth, but the race ended after a poor start.

Lorenzo to Aprilia, Dovizioso to Yamaha?

MotoGP News

Jorge Lorenzo and Andrea Dovizioso have not yet signed a contract for next season. Lorenzo has already contacted the Aprilia team for a test racer. This opens the position of a test racer at Yamaha, which could be occupied by the current Ducati racer, Dovizioso. The Italian said he might want a break in MotoGP, but he is aware that a break can bring a lot of downsides as you lose touch with the best and then find it harder to get back among the rest. Dovi was already driving for the Yamaha Tech 2012 team in the 3 season when he was ousted from the Honda team before transferring to the Ducati factory team. The Italian has been in talks for a test racer at both Honda, Yamaha and KTM. The requirements are in addition to the salary to be able to engage in other MotoGP-related sports during the season when motocross

Rossi prevented the celebration of Ducati

MotoGP News

However, after a few laps long duel with Ducati racer Andrea Dovizios, Valentino Rossi celebrated in the first race of the MotoGP season in Qatar. Ducati confirmed his return to the top of the royal class with third place from Andrea Iannone. Dovizioso took the lead in the first corner after the start, while Honda racers Marc Marquez and Dani Pderosa lost many places.

Marquez admires Rossi’s rise in form

MotoGP News

Marc Marquez said it was just amazing how Valentino Rossi revived his career after a few bad seasons, adding that he probably wouldn’t have been able to do it on his own. Rossi became runner-up this season, winning two races and it was his best season since 2009, when he last celebrated the world title. The 2010 season was marred by a broken leg for the Italian, followed by two years at the uncompetitive Ducati. He finally returned to Yamaha, where he raised his form to an enviable level this year. "Unbelievable. After two not so good seasons at Ducati, he returned to Yamaha, where he was also not very good. But this year he showed that he is a very strong competitor," Marquez commented on Rossi's form. “After three or four years without good results, it’s hard to come back
