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 and bounce back from a tough start to the year , when he ’ s only finished inside the top ten once . Could this be his final season as a MotoGP™ rider ? It ’ s starting to look that way .
