I don't think he'll leave before the end of his 2 yr contract.
I wouldn't blame him if he did try to end the relationship with Ducati.
If you are any sort of sportsman, you need to set yourself a target & go for it. It takes some bottle to slither away if you cannot achieve it.
MOST, dedicated sportsmen will up the anti, training etc & get as far to their target as possible.
If it is unachievable then you can sit back & say you tried.
THATS where Rossi is right now.
Firstly, he needs to pull himself, his team together. Have a right old "ALEX FERGUSON" Tea cup throwing session & then get on with it.
Its early days yet & if he can get the bikes moving up the grid then he did his best.
I still cannot see the GP12 being further than a low podium place at the best of tracks, but heres hoping.
Ducati at present look like a well organise privateer team & not a Factory team.
Rossi's target at present is to be ahead of Hayden. Nothing worse than your team mate out performing you.
