Rumormill: Rossi to Ducati... and Ferrari?
Filed under: Motorsports, Hirings/Firings/Layoffs, Motorcycle
Rumors continue to swirl around the MotoGP paddock these days, many surrounding some of the top riders in the sport. Specifically, Australian Casey Stoner, who currently races for Ducati, is said to have already accepted an offer to compete next season for Honda. Naturally, then, there will be a couple of high profile slots open, possibly both for Ducati and for Honda.
One other silly season rumor that seems to have some legs would create a so-called Italian Dream Team, pairing up fan favorite Valentino Rossi with Ducati. Another storied Italian company is also known to be keenly interested in retaining Rossi's services for the upcoming racing season: Ferrari.
A new and intriguing possibility has reportedly sprung up that could see Rossi racing on both two and four wheels. According to a recent report, Ducati has crafted an offer for Rossi that would see him on the Italian bikes for two years, with dedicated time to test for Ferrari's Formula One team along with a possible move to rally racing after the contract was up.
We have absolutely no way to verify an of this, so take it all with a suitably large grain of salt for now. If and when we know more, so will you.
