MOTOGP great Valentino Rossi will not be retiring from the sport in the wake of friend Marco Simoncelli dying after a crash with his fellow Italian, Rossi's mentor said.
Honda's Simoncelli, 24, died after a horror collision early on in Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix when he was struck by the bikes of Rossi and Colin Edwards. Davide Brivio, his manager at former team Yamaha, denied widespread internet and media rumors that the 32-year-old was too upset to carry on racing. "Many are asking about Vale stopping races. This is absolutely not true and I'm sorry even that I have to explain it," Brivio wrote on Twitter.
