Next, Catalunya Grand Prix, 4th July will be without Valentino Rossi there. This news has confirmed by FIAT Yamaha that they will replace Rossi with a racer that still unclear who will take the Rossi’s bike.
Actually, after the Rossi’s accident, Yamaha is preferring to concentrate on Jorge Lorenzo who currently being the leader. But contractual responsibilities with Dorna strive it must place a full line-up of riders by the third race.
Thus, Lin Jarvis has said,
“Concerning the replacement rider – we have decided to field a replacement rider from the Catalunya Grand Prix on 4th July,” he said. ”We have chosen the Catalunya Grand Prix to respect our Team Participation obligations to the MotoGP championship and also to take time to select the most suitable rider and to make sure we’re organised and well prepared for this new situation. At this moment I am unable to tell you who the rider will be because we have not yet made a definitive decision.”
Even though will be no full-line up at Silverstone nor Assen, Jarvis hopes a replace-announcement will be made shortly.
“We expect to be able to inform you of our plan next week or at the latest at the Silverstone MotoGP event.”
So, who will take Rossi’s bike on the Catalunya Grand Prix? Just wait for the announcement from Yamaha.
