Valentino Rossi Waves Ducati Goodbye

Valencia, Spain will see Vale riding a Ducati for the last time, at least for now. The 18th event of the MotoGP championship will be the last one with Valentino Rossi and Ducati as it seems il Dottore is bound for Yamaha M1.
After two season of rather poor results, the Ducati-Rossi agreement reaches an end, as none of those involved seem to be content with the outcome. Even more, Rossi declares that seeing the 2012 bike running with the same problems it had two years is quite disheartening and sometimes makes him think if the last two years haven't passed in vain. Rossi's place in the team will be occupied by Andrea Dovizioso.

Asked about what he thought about Max Biaggi's recent retirement announcement, Rossi backed his Italian fellow's decision adding that Biaggi knew when to let go, just after another big championship win, so it was most likely a good life decision.
