Burgess: "Maybe Valentino stayed too long in MotoGP"

When things do not go, there are many people who, rightly or wrongly, feel they are talking about a rider's season.
It is the case of Valentino Rossi, which due to the highs and bases it had during this 2019 championship, was "targeted" on several fronts.
Many, only a few months ago, saw him already hanging up his helmet at the end of the season, but he always replied by saying that his contract will expire at the end of 2020 and at that point he will decide what to do.

START OF THE DECLINE? – The last one in order to talk about the Doctor is the chief technician of Valentino, Jeremy Burgess who shared well with him seven world titles before the two separated, in 2013.
The engineer Burgess was interviewed by the official website of the Australian GP and spoke about Rossi's progress:"Maybe he stayed in the motogp a little too long. – he said – The aspect to highlight and the saddest in my opinion, is that it reaches the finish line in the same position in which it qualifies. We never worried if a few years ago he qualified tenth, because we knew that in the race he would be able to recover four or five positions to fight for the podium. What is a step towards decline? Who knows?"

ON PHILLIP ISLAND – A Burgess was then asked what idea he has of what will be the result of the Australian race that will take place on Sunday:"the heart – concluded – says Valentino, but the head says Marquez. Marc has never had much luck in Phillip Island. "
