七次冠軍羅西說，他計畫待在MotoGP至少五年，有胡扯謠言說他
計畫很快退休。
Seven-time world champion Valentino Rossi says he is planning to stay in MotoGP for at least five more years, rubbishing suggestions that he plans to retire soon.

百分百肯定我2009年會繼續比賽，除非我明年每場比賽都贏，
義大利人告訴 Motosprint 雜誌。
"It's 100 percent certain I will race in 2009, unless I win every race next year," the Italian told Motosprint magazine.

”我從未考慮離開，否則我在 06 年就做了，而且也許我會去F1。
但是我不會，而且不是不會去F1一年或二年。
"I've never considered quitting, otherwise I would have done that in 2006 and maybe I would have gone to Formula One. But I didn't, and it's not just for one or two years.

" 我還在，我希望，至少五年。 "  
"I'm staying, I hope, for at least five years."

28 年的義大利人和山葉仍有一年契約，而他希望 2008 年強勢再起，
在令人失望的 2007之後。
The 28-year-old Italian has a year of his Yamaha contract left to run and will be hoping to bounce back in 2008 following a disappointing 2007 season.

Rossi 和新科冠軍Stoner的十勝比起來只贏了四場，而他也只拿年度第三，
排在澳洲人和 Honda的 Dani Pedrosa之後。
Rossi won just four races to champion Casey Stoner's 10, and the Yamaha rider went on to finish in third place in the standings behind the Australian and Honda's Dani Pedrosa.

五次 MotoGP 冠軍已經承認看到 Stoner 已經是場上最快的車手。
The five-time MotoGP champion admits it has been tough watching Stoner being the fastest rider on track.

確實，今年還不是我最好表現的一年，”他補述。 ”
它是一次強硬的賽季，不同於先前，當我常常是最快的時候，經過錯誤，
我失去勝利和遇到壞運氣。
今年， Stoner一直比我們快，除一些例外之外。
"For sure this hasn't been one of my best seasons," he added. "It's been a tough year, different from the previous one when I was often the fastest but I lost through mistakes and bad luck. This year Stoner has always been quicker than us, bar a few exceptions.


”今年已經是硬仗的一年。
因為我們已經知道，Casey已經變快而且沒有犯錯，
而那是意料之外的，他是很快的。
他完全應該得到冠軍。 我們將試著在 2008 年挑戰他。”  
"It's been tough. Casey has gone quick and hasn't made mistakes, and that's been a surprise, because we knew already he was quick. He fully deserves the title. We will try to challenge him in 2008."
