Moto: Rossi, I don't want to stop without running

"I am in a difficult situation because my first option is to try to continue. I have enough motivation and desire to continue. The problem is that there are no races and we cannot run. So I will have to decide before returning to the track." Valentino Rossi, in a chat organized by Yamaha, talks about his future made even more uncertain by the coronavirus emergency. "I had in mind to run another year with the official team and I needed time to decide what to do, I would have needed five or six races to understand if I can be strong," added the Pesaro. "I am in a difficult situation because, as I said, my first option is to try and continue - underlines Rossi - I have enough motivation and desire to continue". "It is very important to understand the level of competitiveness because, especially in the second half of last year, we suffered a lot and too many times I was slow and I had to fight outside the top five positions - the words of the 'Doctor' - I had in mind to run another year with the official team and I needed time to decide what to do, I would need five or six races, to work with the new chief mechanic and to evaluate some changes made in the team to understand if I can be strong. it is the best way to stop, because the situation is that maybe we will not compete in 2020. So it is more right for me to do another championship and stop at the end of the next. So I hope to continue in 2021 ", concluded Rossi.
