'Bye bye baby' was the slogan on every Yamaha team members t-shirts in Valencia 2010 when Valentino Rossi's 7 year love affair with Yamaha came to an end.
However, after a roller coaster two season spent at Ducati 'The Doctor' is returning back to the team he won several of his championships at: Yamaha. He's signed a two year contract with the team.
I'm not sure whether the move back to the blue and white machine is the best move but i really hope for Vale and MotoGP as a whole that it's a rewarding one.
Don't get me wrong i'd love nothing better than to see Valentino win (which i'm sure he will) and possibly bag another championship but he returns to the team where after he left Jorge Lorenzo settled in to and made his own to an extent, there's no denying he's their number 1 rider, up till now at least.
Even though Rossi's results at Ducati have been far from competitive, i was hoping it'd pick up, that some time soon he'd be back up the front winning races, i think it's even been evident in the few races that the Duc has been slowly improving. I guess we'll never know now.
With the greatest current MotoGP rider heading back to a competitive team, maybe 2013 is looking a little more promising for excitement, with Casey Stoner leaving the sport it's fair to say a lot of people thought it would be an easy championship for Jorge Lorenzo but now with Valentino Rossi, along with Honda riders Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez maybe it won't be one long parade, i hope they all have a lot of exciting, close racing battles at the top!
Good luck and welcome back to Yamaha Vale.
