Rossi To Retire.

[Dale.]

A sad day but overdue I think.

I remember him in the 125 class, met him at Donnington when he was in the 250s. I knew he was talented but little did I know back then what a legend he would become.

It won't be the same without him.

Absolutely brilliant racer… cant believe he’s still going. Seems to have a great personality as well.

He has given me so much entertainment over the years. Good luck to him. His smile will continue to make him a living, I'm sure.

He was past his sell by date though!

One of the greats, he really got a lot of pleasure out of racing and gave a lot of pleasure to the fans.

Great racer, should probably have gone 3 or 4 seasons ago, but if he was enjoying it, and could get the rides then hey who are we to say. Hopefully he will make it to the end of the season without any injuries and walk away after a great career.

There have been lots of great moments with VR46, but the one that always sticks in my mind is the duel with Casey Stoner at Laguna Seca in 2008...
