With his previous Ducati
MotoGP contract having now expired, Yamaha has released the first official 2013 photos of
Valentino Rossi back with the brand.
The arty shots - featuring both Rossi and reigning double
MotoGP champion
Jorge Lorenzo in corporate Yamaha colours - are provided along with a trailer video on the
YamahaMotoGP.com website.
They include this shot of Rossi apparently recreating his Welkom 2004 celebration, after winning on his M1 debut.
The official 2013 Factory Yamaha
MotoGP race livery is yet to be unveiled.
Rossi won four of his seven
MotoGP titles with Yamaha and his most recent race win, at Malaysia in 2010.
