Well, it is not a secret that Valentino Rossi is in talks with Petronas Yamaha SRT to race in MotoGP for one more year (maybe even two) and probably the Italian has already signed with the Malaysian team, but from yesterday rumors said that the announcement would have arrived next week at Jerez.

During the first MotoGP Grand Prix of the season we could have a big announce on the line, but there is nothing sure at this moment. Indeed, the announcement is a mystery as Petronas Yamaha SRT Boss Razlan Razali did not confirm the rumors but is still saying that they are working on the deal.

“I was cycling the whole day yesterday and I saw that we have a new rider for 2021. It is not true, we are still working on it and we need more time than usual as we are not talking about a normal rider”, wrote Razali on his Facebook profile.

So, will the announce come to Jerez? Maybe yes, maybe not. For sure Valentino Rossi is not going to retire at the end of this season, but we still have to wait a little bit to make it official and to know his crew in Petronas Yamaha SRT and how much his contract will last.
