Rossi loses his battle to regain the championship in 2007 with the young Spaniard clinching the title at Valencia. This sees Valentino throw his hand in with Yamaha and signs for Ducati to round of his career on 2 wheels with two championships on the Bologna bikes.
This places Rossi among the true immortals of the sport and takes with him in to retirement the undying love of the Ducatisti. he retires also with the excited words of Supervox echoing in his head...."Well done Ducati, well done Valentino!"

And to think I'd decided to give my Ducati / Peter Henry 'bashing' a break in the spirit of seasonal goodwill & all that !! :P
I have to say that I will honestly be very torn if Vale ever goes to Ducati (as he may well do in 200
.
I have supported him from his days as a gawky long haired kid in 125's - but, my geniune dislike for everything that Ducati Racing stands for (ie win at all costs / get the rules changed to help us if need be / cheat) will prob win out in the end.
I personally hope that when he regains the title he will announce that he's retiring at the end of the season. I mean, other than a massive payday (which he
really needs doesn't he ?) & the whole Italian rider / Italian bike thing what would he have left to prove ?
He'll have won everything there is to win within the MotoGP setup including world championships in 3 classes of top flight bikes (500cc 2 stroke / 990cc 4 stroke / 800cc 4 stroke).
Mind you could imagine the hype if he decided to go to WSB to just round the whole thing off ??
