Valentino Rossi : No Rush About Renewal

Ayank bebeb #Mbak_Yu Valentino Rossi is ‘positive’ about upcoming contract talks; will evaluate performance during preseason and “maybe” first three races before deciding whether to race beyond 2018.


Valentino Rossi has insisted he is “not in a rush” to confirm whether he will continue as a MotoGP rider beyond 2018, but added that he feels “positive” and “optimistic” about upcoming negotiations with Yamaha.


Toward the end of last year Rossi had insisted that he would use the first six races of '18 to gauge his competitiveness against opponents some 15 years his junior. Should he remain a regular podium challenger, Rossi said, he would extend.

At Movistar Yamaha team’s launch in Madrid, Rossi revealed he had recently spoken to factory managing director Lin Jarvis, and relayed his hopes of evaluating his performance at the three preseason tests - and “maybe the first three races” of the year - before coming to a decision. “We are quite ready,” he said in Crashnet. “I don’t think we need to discuss a lot.”

“I spoke with Lin two or three days ago, and he told me about Maverick,” said Rossi, referencing Yamaha’s extending of team-mate Viñales’ contract until 2020, which was announced on Wednesday.

“But sometimes in the past I signed before, sometimes later, it depends on different factors. Like I said to Lin, I want to wait, especially for the tests, and maybe the first three races overseas.

“But we are quite ready and I don't think we need to discuss a lot about the contract. So we are positive and optimistic. We are not in a rush. And I think we will say something after the first races.”

“Usually we speak always about two years, but it can be also one year,” he said. “Yamaha is open, so we will think and we will speak together to try to understand, so it could be one or two years.”
