Ducati's Valentino Rossi insists he hasn't opened dis💫cussions with any other manufacturers for 2013 and isn't sure what Carmelo Ezpeleta meant by a🍌 recent comment.

Omnicorse.it recently quoted the Dorna CEO as saying:

"Valentino next year will be riding a competitive bike, but I [can't] tell you 💎what it is. It is still too early to talk about: in 2013 we willꦐ see Rossi fight for the win... again."

Rossi was asked aℱbout that comment, which some took to mean the Italian was plann🅰ing a switch back to Honda or Yamaha, at Assen on Wednesday.

"I think this is only his idea, or maybe he knows more than me [laughs]," GPone.com quotes Rossi as saying.

"I haven't requested a bike from either of thos🙈e two manufacturers [Honda or Yamaha]. My objective is to make the Ducati competitive and to continue with this team💧."

Rossi won three MotoGP titles for Honda and four for Yamaha before joining🤪 Ducati at the start of 2011, since when he has taken just two podiums.

The only factory 2013 MotoGP seat so far decid💧ed is Jorge Lorenzo's Yamaha ride.
