JAKARTA - Ducati boss, Claudio Domenicali, reminisced about his togetherness with Valentino Rossi in MotoGP. Despite failing to win the title, Ducati never had any regrets.
Valentino Rossi joined Ducati in 2011 from Yamaha. He lasted two seasons at the Italian factory team.
Unfortunately, Valentino Rossi was not able to achieve the achievements he had with Honda and Yamaha before. In the 2011 season, Rossi only finished seventh in the final drivers' standings.
In the following season, he again failed. The racer, nicknamed The Doctor, only managed to finish the championship in sixth position.
"We do not regret ever racing together. We are just in a time when we can not create one (title)," said Claudio, in an interview with Motorcycle News.

Claudio said that the Ducati Desmosedici GP motorcycle at that time had a more suitable character for Casey Stoner, the Ducati rider before Rossi. That is what is believed to make the seven MotoGP world titles difficult.
"Today the Ducati is very different from the one he rode for two seasons. I think he will be competitive with the 2021 bike," said Claudio.
He then said, the figure of Valentino Rossi is irreplaceable. The Doctor is said to be a real combination of talent, determination, and sympathy.
"And incredible longevity," said Claudio Domenicali.
