In the four years he has been with the Japanese manufacturer half in the satellite team and the other half in the factory team , Rossi has won three championship titles and a second place in his debut championship. In an interview with DAZN, the 46 clarified that one of the reasons he left Honda consisted of comments that devalued his achievements; this eventually motivated the rider to take a chance on a change that would later have historic consequences.

We win 11 races and the championship. It was a great championship as it was the last of the 's. The cc was the story of the sport. To win the last cc race was like a dream. Maybe one of the best races of my career. I first ride at Suzuka in in August. It was already a good bike. But even at the beginning I was wondering if it was as good as the 's as it was not as fast. We work hard and the bike was ready for the first GP and we win.
At the end of last season the Yamaha was at the same level and we make a good step over the winter in testing and arrive this season in good shape. We make many emotional races. We had a good second part of the championship. At a point after Sepang the idea arrived about making a change because we win in the dry, we win in the wet, we win at circuits I like and like today, we win at circuits I have not had such good luck at in the past.
We finish our work with the bike. I am a HRC rider until the 31st December so I cannot comment yet on which bike I will be riding, but I can say that it will be a big challenge - it maybe even seems a little crazy right now! HRC sporting manager Carlo Fiorani pictured with Rossi admitted that Honda had tried everything to keep Rossi, but that ultimately they were unable to offer the new challenge he seeks. With this quip, the 46 started off his own interview, and then immediately moved on to his future ambitions.
This made all the difference. The complicated things are represented above all by the level, which is very high, of our opponents, the top guys are very strong and being young is important. Furthermore, Yamaha's technical moment is not the best, and as a result there is a possibility that we have to suffer. Have you ever thought about continuing with other manufacturers or ending your career in Aprilia for example? I do a bit like football players, who start from their home team, go around the world and return to play as a striker back home.
My heart is always in Yamaha, I am a Yamaha rider, therefore I would like to end my career with them. It is very important to have a competitive bike, that is the most important thing. In addition to Marquez, I believe there is a new generation of riders, like Binder, Oliveira and Quartararo, who come from Moto2 and who can give everyone a hard time, even Marc.
Furthermore, the technical situation has changed from , there are in fact now always three KTMs in the top eight, which did not happen last year. In my opinion the Honda is a very fast bike. There is no doubt that Marc is his greatest interpreter, they are in difficulty, also because the other riders are unable to be competitive.
So all the balances are changing, even if Marc will be the man to beat when he comes back.
