All things come to pass and after 26 season's and 9 world titles MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi aka " The Doctor " announced his retirement at the end of the season earlier today .. sadly Motogp's round in Thailand scheduled later this year has already been cancelled so the opportunity to see Rossi on track one more time for those in Thailand is no more ..

It was a hell of a run that will most likely never be repeated. Everyone else from the 500 days is loooong gone. Big loss for Dorna and the sport but its time, bummer about all the cancelled GP's this year but I got to see Rossi race a bunch of times. Getting old sucks.

Yea for sure Dorna will miss his household name being attached to the brand but it is not out of the question he may remain in the MotoGP family as an ambassador for Dorna or possibly Yamaha .. there has been talk of him forming his own team VR46 into the top class but the machines and money needed to run a competitive team make that unlikely ..

I think his team is already in placed backed by some middle eastern $ isn't it? If nothing else the VR46 riders academy will continue and he will be a fixture in the paddock for many years.
