Dorna’s CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta was at Valencia last Sunday to take in the European Grand Prix Formula 1 race (won by Fernando Alonso) and Italian website Omnicorse.
it got a chance to talk to the Spanish manager.
Valentino Rossi on the Ducati is a marriage that isn’t working, can Dorna afford to have a World Champion that doesn’t win.
And do you believe that ‘The Doctor’ can still win?“I’m calm.
Valentino next year will be on competitive bike, but I can’t tell you which.
It’s too early to talk about it, but in 2013 we’ll see Rossi fighting again for wins … “ (Italy’s Sportmediaset is speculating that Rossi has a pre-contract with Honda and that Repsol wants the Italian to form a ‘dream team’ with Marc Marquez – a sort of master and apprentice thingy – even if Honda doesn’t want Rossi back).
Ezpeleta also talked about other subjects like the new cost cutting rule proposals, how the CRsT which are hated by the MSMA, but have filled the dwindling grid number, have now Honda working on a low cost ‘production racer’ to sell and not lease to satellite teams in 2014, a step he believe was made possible because of the presence of the CRT bikes.
The Spanish manager also admitted that other manufacturers are waiting at the doorstep and he is in talks with BMW, Aprilia and Suzuki.
(All who want stable rules before making any commitment to MotoGP, we might add).
