I think he’ll be back, but with another team ---

Doubtful he will come back, he is going to want to get out before he ruins his legacy. Besides no factory teams will have room to sign him and I can’t see him on a satellite team. Repsol is on top right now and they won’t give up any of their current riders that’s for sure. Besides he has been doing rally part-time as is and he might just get into that some more, or hell its a bit far fetched but I wouldn’t put it passed him to try and get into F1, after all he has some experience driving those cars. ---

Damn…I was actually hoping it was true, I would like to see him try out his talents somewhere else in the world of motorsports LOL. ---

Well, it might not be this season. Could be next? I recall in one interview he said would like to to race in SBK when he retires from GP; where riders are still winning championships in their 40’s. ---

Yeah I hope when Rossi finishes MotoGP, he goes to WSBK. I hope this isn’t his last year in MotoGP though. He seems to be learning the Ducati more and more. ---
