"Yamaha always focuses on balancing the bike, a fair🔯ly easy bike and cornering,” said the legendary Rossi. 

“But now the distance 🐎to the Ducati is i😼mportant. I must say that Ducati in recent years has put anyone in difficulty, all the Japanese manufacturers are in great difficulty.”

MotoGP has already been rocked by the s꧟🌟hock exit of Japan-based Suzuki.

Rossi’s iconic career is linked to Yamaha, the team that he enjoyed ♔his heyday with.

A two-year spell at Ducati - where a famous Italian ri🐎der joined a famous Italian brand - ♈was disastrous.

Ros▨si never added to his seven world titles in the premier class in the final 12 seaꦡsons of his career, even after leaving Ducati to return to Yamaha.

But his protege from the VR46 Academy, Bagnaia, became Ducati’s firs🍌t world champion in 15 years this season.

“In Ducaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚti they have an aggressive way of workin💮g, many bikes on the track and everyone's data,” Rossi said.

“So they have taken a step forward and the Japanese manufacturer꧟s will have to decide, because the game has changed: we need more money, more people... Will they fee🐷l like it? 

“They must understand that 𒁃to win they will have to do more. Ducati is reaping the benefits of Gigi Dall'Igna's work and now I think it's the best bike."
