Morbidelli will contest his sophomore premier-class season with the newly-formed Petronas SRT Yamaha team, and will ride an 'A-class' M1 similar in spec to factory pair Rossi and Maverick Vinales.
The 24-year-old Italian, who rode a Marc VDS Honda in his first year in MotoGP, made an immediate impact in post-season testing, ending up sixth-fastest on the final day at Jerez.
'He was impressive on his Yamaha debut, because he was immediately very strong,' said Rossi of Morbidelli. 'So next year he will be a problem.
'Franco likes the Yamaha a lot, because it's a very generous bike that gives you good feedback. It's a bike that is the friend of the rider, but we lack some grip and he also has the same thing.'

Morbidelli insists that he is still figuring the best way to extract speed from his new machine, which requires a very different way of riding to his old Marc VDS Honda.
'This bike is really smooth and to be fast I think you have to be smoother and try to look for flow,' said Morbidelli at Jerez. 'This is what I’m trying to do at the moment.
'Certainly the Yamaha helps you to maintain intensity and to keep up your rhythm. It is less physical than the Honda, so it allows the rider to have a little more margin from that point of view and focus on other aspects.
'Every time I go on track with this bike, I learn, and I understand more. After all, it’s just my fourth day on this bike.
'I need some more time to understand it and squeeze the package properly when it’s the moment for a time attack, to understand how to exploit it for pace. I need some more time.'

Big news coming in from Yamaha as the MotoGP factory team has retained nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi for another two years. Rossi announced that he has signed a new two-year deal to continue with Movistar Yamaha until the end of 2020.

After two not so impressive years, 'The Doctor' repeated the feat by taking the championship win in 2008 and 2009 seasons, which remains his last title to date. That said, Rossi has been ever so competitive even in the recent seasons and even came close to winning her title nce again in 2014. The Italian motorcycle professional also joined Ducati briefly between 2011-2012 before heading back to Yamaha.
One of the most senior riders on the grid at present, Rossi has been regarded as the people's champion and already holds the status nothing short of a legend amidst fans and enthusiasts alike. The deal is also showcases the commitment both Yamaha and Rossi have in each other.

Valentino Rossi has reignited his rivalry with reigning MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez by claiming that the Honda rider has “destroyed” the sport, following their latest clash at the Argentine Grand Prix.
Nine-time world champion Rossi was taken out of Sunday’s Grand Prix when a recovering Marquez rode into the side of his Yamaha and forced him onto the wet grass, leaving him little option than to fall off late in the race.
The move saw Marquez hit with a 30-second penalty that dropped him from fifth to 18th and out of the points, having already served a ride-through penalty for riding the wrong way around the track after stalling his bike on the grid. The Spaniard was penalised for “irresponsible riding”, having already been told to give Aleix Espargaro back a place for squeezing the KTM rider off the track, but Rossi refused to let Marquez off the hook lightly and issued a strong response to his on-track antics after the race.

'This is a very bad situation, because he destroyed our sport, because he [doesn't] have any respect for his rivals, never,' Rossi said.
'When you go 300kmh on the track, you have to have a respect for your rival, you have to be strong, you have to make the maximum, but [doing it] like this is over.
'If you take what's happened this weekend - one by one, can happen to everybody. You can make a mistake in braking, you can touch the other guy - [this] happens - this is racing.

'But from Friday morning, he [did] this with [Maverick] Vinales, [Andrea] Dovizioso. He [did] this with me on Saturday morning - and today in the race he [went] straight to four riders, because he [does this] purposely.
'It is not a mistake, because he points the leg - between the leg and the bike - because he knows he [doesn't] crash but you crash - he hopes that you crash. So if you start to play like this, you raise the level to a very dangerous point, because if all the riders race like this, without any respect for rivals, this is a very dangerous sport and [it will] finish in a bad way.'
Rossi, a veteran of 17 full seasons in the premier class and currently riding his 22nd season of Grand Prix racing, went one step further by admitting that the prospect of racing directly against Marquez is one that makes him fear for his safety.

'I'm scared - I'm scared on the track when I am with Marquez,” he added. “I'm scared today when I see his name on the board, because I know that he comes to me [and] I know already. You have to think, to hope that you don't crash.'
Marquez attempted to enter Rossi’s garage after the race to apologise for causing the accident at Turn 13, only for Yamaha team members to deny him entry, and he defended his action by insisting he “didn’t make anything crazy” and that any contact during the race was not deliberate.
'Today what happened to Valentino was a mistake, [a] consequence of the track conditions because I locked the front,' Marquez said, with the Grand Prix taking place in changeable conditions on a drying Autodromo Termas de Rio Hondo track.
'You needed to understand how the track condition was - of course in that line [it] was dry but I [took the] wet patch, locked the front, released the brakes.
'Okay, I had the contact - I tried to turn and then when I see that he crashed I just try to say sorry.
'If you check - [Johann] Zarco with Dani [Pedrosa], [Danilo] Petrucci with Aleix [Espargaro]. Today was quite difficult but it doesn't matter - I did my 100 per cent and of course [it was a] tricky Sunday.'
The dispute between the pair is the complete opposite of their clash at the end of the 2015 MotoGP season when Rossi was adjudged to have deliberately forced Marquez wide during the penultimate race in Malaysia, resulting in his rival crashing out and landing himself with a grid penalty for the final Grand Prix that sent him to the back of the grid after qualifying, allowing then-teammate Jorge Lorenzo to claim the title.
