Valentino Rossi Targets the Top Three Ranks in MotoGP 2020

Yamaha Energy Monster racer, Valentino Rossi, revealed his target on the MotoGP 2020.

Throughout last season, Valentino Rossi failed to fulfill his ambition to always be consistent and appear competitive on his YZR-M1 mounts.

After winning the second double podium in two successive series at the Argentine GP and Americas GP, teammate Maverick Vinales slowly declined.

The climax occurred when Valentino Rossi posted the result of failing to finish alias did not finish (DNF) in three consecutive races.

Until 2019 MotoGP entered the second half, the teammate Maverick Vinales had not been able to go up to the podium again.

The 40-year-old rider also had to renew his fasting victory which took place since the 2017 Dutch MotoGP.

Rossi's situation seems increasingly cornered when he saw the appearance of a young Petronas Yamaha SRT driver, Fabio Quartararo who was competitive despite appearing as a rookie.

How come? Quartararo managed to finish fifth or two levels better than Rossi in the final standings of the 2019 MotoGP rider.

No doubt, the iconic figure with the number 46 was determined to rise up to look even better next season.

"What I can promise for the 2020 season is that I will do my best," said Valentino Rossi,

"I will prepare myself as much as possible, and try to appear more competitive," he added.

On the same occasion, the rider nicknamed The Doctor was targeting him to finish in the top three of the 2020 MotoGP final standings.

"I want to perform well in every race series and compete to win the top three in the championship standings," Valentino Rossi concluded.

If you look at the contract, the 2020 season will be the last season for Valentino Rossi to race for Yamaha.

Nevertheless, Rossi will evaluate his performance when entering the middle of the season to decide the future of his career.

Rossi and other MotoGP racers will return to the track at the preseason test session which will take place at the Sepang Circuit, Malaysia, 7-9 February.
