Valentino Rossi Goes Back To Yamaha

Yamaha Motor Racing confirmed the signing of Italian legend Valentino Rossi to ride for the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP Team for next year and 2014.

The Italian legend first joined Yamaha in 2004 and won 4 MotoGP World Champion titles with the Yamaha YZR-M1 in 2004 & 2005 and again in 2008 & 2009. Rossi won 46 GP races with Yamaha over a seven year period before he left at the end of the 2010 MotoGP season.

The Goat (Greatest Of All Time), who is presently 8th in the Championship standings, will partner Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo who is currently leading the World Championship by twenty-three points, having taken five victories from the first ten completed races of the 18 race series.

Lin Jarvis, Managing Director, Yamaha Motor Racing
"This announcement is once again excellent news for Yamaha. In June we were able to sign Jorge Lorenzo for the 2013-14 campaign and now we are able to confirm Valentino Rossi for the next two years. In doing so we have been able to put together the strongest possible team to challenge for victories and to promote the Yamaha brand.

We have run this ‘super team’ together in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and during that time we achieved the ‘triple crown’ titles with Rider, Manufacturer and Team World Championship victories for three consecutive years.

The target for the future is obvious and we will do our utmost to achieve our goals.

I have no doubt that with the experience, knowledge, skills and speed of these two great champion riders we will be able to challenge for many race wins and for the 2013 & 2014 World Championship titles.

The signing of Valentino completes our future planning for the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP Team. Now that this is done we will put our 100% efforts into completing the job at hand and to supporting Ben Spies and Jorge Lorenzo in their search for race victories and for Jorge’s 2012 World Championship title challenge."
