It took very little time for Sportmediaset.
com who is very close to Valentino Rossi, to shoot down The Telegraph’s article regarding Rossi’s retirement, calling it a ‘balla colossale’ (a big lie).
The Italian website immediately contacted members of Rossi’s entourage who naturally denied the entire story and laughed off the entire thing confirming that the MotoGP rider still wants to make his Ducati work.
So after last week’s retirement rumors on Casey Stoner, this week it’s Rossi’s turn and next week we’ll probably hear something regarding some other rider, silly season is certainly taking off with a bang.
Rossi has yet to personally comment the story on his Twitter account, but you can bet it’ll will be very soon, probably when he gets up and turns on his phone.
Updated:Rumor denied by the man himself: @TobyMoody @MOTOCI_Maroto ciao guys, the rumors about my retirement at the end of the year are not true!see you in Le Mans.
but don’t expect that this already over and done with, the La Mans pre-race interviews will include more of the same.
