Valentino Rossi And Ducati Recap (VIDEO)

Recap of Valentino Rossi's two year period at Ducati. The dream of the Italian motorcycle legend winning races on an Italian motorcycle never became reality. The 33 year old from Tavullia has returned to the Yamaha Factory team to race alongside 2012 MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo for the next two seasons. With many questioning Rossi's competitiveness for next season's campaign, his Spanish team mate remains wary of the Italian. Lorenzo believes that the complicated Ducati Desmosedici GP11 and GP12 bikes were key to Rossi's struggles and expects him to be challenging at the front again next season. "Its true, the Ducati bike seems to be very complicated. Only Casey [Stoner] won a championship and races with it, so for sure it's not easy. Vale is a strong rider, and really complete, but he couldn't win with it. Maybe with Yamaha he returns again to a high level," the Spaniard said.
