Default Retirement for Rossi ???

Ok first off , i read several articles of how Rossi was switching to F1 after this year . planning to switch and take on a new challenge... now reading a very unimformative article on MotoGP.com , They have mentioned Rossi and his "surprise Early Retirement" from motoGp...What they didnt say is that if it was a total retirement or if he had planned on making his switch early... curious though , the season for F1s is already in motion and his slot is not available yet until the end of this year..
any one???

The article was reffering to his early retirement from last weekends race. It was due to tire problems, and front end chatter.

Rossi is going to stick around for this season.

yeah he is here for this year then he is going to F1 i believe ferrari wanted him despratly. apparently valentino is just ok at motorcycles racing compared to his car driving abilities.

plus there isn't a ton of money in motogp. shumacher made $50million in endorsements in 2004.
i'd say he is making the right move. 7 time champ can come back in a few years just to show everyone he still has "it".
