Struggling seven time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi insists Dani Pedro𝓀sa's rumoured new Repsol Honda deal makes no difference to his 2013 plans.

Rossi won the 2002 and 2003 MotoGP titles as a Repsol Honda rider, but left for Yamaha after feeling his achi🥂evements were undervalued at HRCဣ.

The Yamaha switch imme༒diately netted two further premier-class titles, with Rossi's sixth and seventh premier-class championships also won at Yamaha in 2008 and 2009.

Rossi's 2011 switch to Ducati has proven far༺ less successful, with just two podiums to date, and the Italian has been linked with a move back to a Japanese bike ꦐfor 2013.

With Yamaha re-signing Jorge Lorenzo, the Rossi rumours swung briefly to Honda, which needs a new rider due to the retirement of rei𒐪gning double champion Casey Stone♎r.

However HRC bosses had said Rossi's only Honda option would be with a satellite t🍸eam and the man himself claims no contact has been made.

"[Pedrosa's expected new deal] doesn't change anything for me. I was never in contact with HRC, and so going there was never an option for me," GPOne.com quotes Rossi as saying.

The recent removal of the roo🍃kie rule has already cleared the 🍸way for Pedrosa's fellow Spaniard, Moto2 star Marc Marquez, to move directly to the Repsol Honda team in place of Stoner, although that is also yet to be made official.

Rossi's remaining 2013 factory options are thus to remain at Ducati, his 👍publically stated intention, or move 𒅌back to Yamaha alongside Lorenzo.

The only officially confirmed d🐠eals for next season are Lorenzo (Yamaha), Stefan Bradl (LCR Honda) and Bradley Smith (Teꦦch 3 Yamaha).

Rossi, who has recently questioned Ducati's development plan for its underperforming GP12, added that he feels 'more relaxed' after🌌 being told that both chassis and engine upgrades will soon be available.
