Motorcycling legend and nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi confirmed on Thursday he will retire at the end of the season after 26 years lighting up the sport.
The Italian, 42, signed a one-season deal with Yamaha-SRT for this campaign and it had been mooted he might ride for his own team next term.
