Could this be the long goodbye ? After 22 largely brilliant years in MotoGP™ it seems Valentino Rossi is in the twilight of his career . Yes , it ’ s true Rossi has not won a race since June , 2017 . And last season ’ s – plagued by an inconsistent Yamaha and a Covid-19 infection – 15th place in the championship was his worst final standing in history . But he still turned around a disastrous early situation in Jerez by bouncing back with a podium in Andalusia . He came within a lap of scoring a podium at Misano and crashed out of victory contention in Barcelona . Clearly the speed is still there . In terms of premier class race wins , no one has more . And a move to the Petronas SRT Yamaha team for 2021 may add further motivation as Rossi seeks to add to his tally of 115 victories across all categories . It ’ s been a tough time , however , and the Italian has never looked comfortable in 2021 . The fact he has just one top ten finish speaks for itself . His time is running out to add to his podium haul . This will be his last season as a MotoGP™ rider . .
