nine time world chamption Rossi says he will decide whether or not to retire from the sport at Mugello.
In an interview with Mediaset in Italy, the Doctor said that performances at early tests and the first six races of the year would determine whether he would carry on or call it a day when his Yamaha contract runs out at the end of 2014.
"If I'm here and I want to keep running, I will hae to stay ahead in 2014, closer to the first three. From February to June, the test and the first six races will be crucial for deciding whether to continue or stop racing in MotoGP at the end of the season. I would like to continue for another couple of years, but only if they are competitive".
