Akhirnya Yahama secara resmi mengumumkan kepindahan Valentino Rossi pada akhir musim 2010 ini. Setelah selama 7 tahun bersama sejak 2004, akhirnya Valentino Rossi menyatakan keinginannya untuk berpetualang dengan tunggangan baru yaitu DUCATI.

ini nih yang bikin terharu... surat perpisahannya sama Yamaha...

Rossi stated: "It is very difficult to explain in just a few words what my relationship with Yamaha has been in these past seven years.”

"Many things have changed since that far-off time in 2004, but especially ‘she', my M1, has changed. At that time she was a poor middle-grid position MotoGP bike, derided by most of the riders and the MotoGP workers. Now, after having helped her to grow and improve, you can see her smiling in her garage, courted and admired, treated as the ‘top of the class'.”

"The list of the people that made this transformation possible is very long, but I would like to thank anyway Masao Furusawa, Masahiko Nakajima and ‘my' Hiroya Atsumi, as representatives of all the engineers that worked hard to change the face of our M1. Then Jeremy Burgess and all my guys in the garage, who took care of her with love on all the tracks of the world and also all the men and women that have worked in the Yamaha team during these years.”

"Now the moment has come to look for new challenges; my work here at Yamaha is finished. Unfortunately even the most beautiful love stories finish, but they leave a lot of wonderful memories, like when my M1 and I kissed for the first time on the grass at Welkom, when she looked straight in my eyes and told me ‘I love you!'"
