What Rossi wants is one simple thing: fighting for wins. He will either become podium-worthy again in MotoGP, or go to WSBK or retire for good.
The only thing he feels is really beneath him is to keep fighting for 4th or 5th on a factory Yamaha...

Thanks curve. Pc not working and phone was unable to process translation.
JB seems fairly amicable about split and optimistic about VR's future competitiveness

Nice interview, nothing really new though. I must say I agree completely with Jeremey Burgess when he says that Valentino Rossi is experiencing the natural decline of age; I have been saying that myself since the beginning of 2012, when it became clear that it wasn't just the injuries, or just the Ducati, but something in the rider as well.
Valentino doesn't like people thinking that way about him, so probably he would have 'fired' me too had I had been working for him.
At a certain point Jeremy speaks about Rossi having trouble getting out of his 'comfort zone' to risk that little bit more that would allow him to fight with the three Spaniards. And he mentions how all three Spaniards crashed during this season and got various injuries, whereas Valentino stayed out of trouble, but arrived 4th. He mentions how above 30 the 'preservation genes' become prevalent in the human brain. I think he is 100% correct, -- and how could he be wrong, knowing his rider so well...
This said, he wishes him well and says he has accomplished such wonders in his career that he can only feel admiration for him. And I think he's sincere.
