Performance Rossi who declined sharply in this season have made many doubt his ability to compete with the younger riders such as Casey Stoner, Dani Pedrosa or Jorge Lorenzo.
Throughout this season, Rossi has never been a champion, his best achievement was the third podium in MotoGP France. As a result he became scattered in the competitive world champion with while sitting in fifth position after collecting 58 points, 40 adrift of Jorge Lorenzo at the top position.
Another suggestion that emerged related to these conditions is the performance of Ducati motorcycles are not maximized. It also was coupled with the condition Rossi who had fully recovered after undergoing surgery at the end of last season.
