Does anyone know what is going on with Valentino Rossi?

Question

Hi I'm a great fan of Vale but I don't know what is going on with him now?Can you tell me how is he doing in Moto GP right now?Is Stoner very much ahead.I know that Valentino is going through a tax investagation now, Do you know more about that, will he be sued?Does anybody know if this is his last year in Moto GP and if he has any intention to move to F1?

Sorry for asking so many questions but I need to catch up with the latest information about my favourite.

Answer 1

Hey Sunni,

Things are looking tough for him at the moment - but think about of last year when he came from waaaaaay back (with a broken arm - I think) and would have beaten Haydon but for a slide down the road in the last race!

Lets hope eh!

Answer 2

Right now he is 60 points back of Stoner and 18 points ahead of Pedrosa.  I dont know anything about the tax issue.  I read from his fan site that he plans to race until at least 2011.  Honestly I think if he finishes second this year and next year is the same thing, he will leave....this is my opinion.  Rossi is not second best but the machine he is riding right now is probably 4th best.  It is a maricle he is in second place in the champioship standings.  There are 6 races left.....I fully expect a strong push from Valentino.  It appears that he just isnt as fast once the race wears on....I am not sure if it is a tire isuue or not.

Answer 3

The Yamaha has been the one of the slowest bikes for years, Rossi however with his skill has managed to still pull out wins, this year however with the new tire rule in effect, michelin is getting its a$$ handed to them. Occasionally they get it close, but they were used to making tires the day before the race and cant do that anymore.

Answer 4

If you're going to ask me according to his races lately It's like that he's a kid just wandering around the track............I don't know anything about that tax thing.....

Answer 5

Well, he is staying in MotoGP. I think for about 5 more years or something. He said that in an interview but nowadays he is avoiding the press conferences because of the taxes. There is not much information about it but I'm sure he'll be fine!

I'm sorry to tell you this, but he has no chance to win the title. Stoner is doing pretty good and his Ducati is going so fast that no one can catch up. Also Vale has bad luck with the tyres, and for me is one of the main reasons for his bad performance.

That's pretty much it. Hope I gave you enough information!

No matter if he wins or looses, he'll still be the best!

Answer 6

he has tire trouble well michelin has the trouble the playing field was leveled and we are seeing the result its easy to win when you  have a better tire

Answer 7

That will tell you how he doing : http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/motogp_r...

As for the tax thing, it will be playing on his mind. Also the split from his super model GF earlier this year will not help.

The Michilins have not been up to par this year & the Ducati of Casey is a great package.

Put all that together and its more amazing that he is still in second.

Answer 8

yeah hes past his sell by date and no-one is more sorry than me about it but that's life a new breed are here now in moto-gp and they are to fast and brave and wont give into his mind games like sete did stoner and the ped , Marco too will rule for years to come i honestly cant see rossi winning the title again he may win the odd race but hes time gone now hes demoralized mentally and once that happens u are finished look at what he did to sete
