Is Valentino Rossi retiring at the end of 2008?

Question

he better not him and Jorge Lorenzo are the only reason i accutally watch the MotoGP

Answer 1

Safe to say that no he isn't.

Answer 2

As things stand now. Valentino has not got a contract to ride in GP for 09. his contract ends this year. but as pointed out by others. he is virtually signed again to Yamaha for another 2 years. but nothing is set in stone. 4 races ago the odds were he would leave to go into Rally driving. Now its looking more like he will stay. if the Title race stays the same as its going. its any ones guess as to what he will do. the more he loses the less he can bargain for. the more he wins the more he will claim. its when Yamaha want to sign him as well as when he wants to sign. so the real answer is no one knows (for Certain) yet.

Answer 3

Rossi is better than everyone pilots in MotoGp...without him the MotoGp is so bored because Rossi is the real best pilot...im italian for this i love him...lorenzo is a very good pilot but rossi is betterr!!! bye bye...

at the end of 2008 rossi not retiring..i think and i hope that he stay another 5 years in yamaha....

Answer 4

Rumors have him signing for two more years with Yamaha.

He needs to make up for that tax bill...

Answer 5

I think I read somewhere that he has just signed or will soon be signing a new contract. Things are looking better for him this year than for the last few years so I don't think we've seen the last of him.

Lorenzo really could become a worthy successor as soon as he calms down and stops injuring himself!

Answer 6

He is 99% to signing a 2 year deal with Yamaha.

I must admit, I thought for a time he was going to do " A Bayliss " win the lot and quit, but he seems to be back to old Vale ....... enjoying riding again.

You can see how much more relaxed he is after the whole tax thing has been cleared up.

He just needs to pay it now !!

Answer 7

No,He's almost signed up for another two years with Yamaha.

Answer 8

val would be smart to switch to Ducati holding three titles from three Manu's would be stellar
