Valentino Rossi will race on until near his 40th birthday after signing a contract with Yamaha through the 2018 MotoGP season. Randal Grichuk Jersey . The 37-year-old, nine times a world champion since beginning his career in the 125cc class in 1996, rejoined the Japanese team in 2013 and finished runner-up in the championship to team-mate Jorge Lorenzo last year.Rossi kicks off the 2016 campaign in Qatar this weekend, aiming to repeat his 2015 win at Losail, and made the much-anticipated announcement about his future before qualifying. I am very happy to announce that Yamaha and I have extended our contract and will continue working together in MotoGP for the next two years, Rossi said in a statement.I am very satisfied with this decision, because it has always been my plan to compete in motorsports for as long as I can be competitive and find it enjoyable at the same time.Ever since I returned to Yamaha in 2013 I have felt like I am home again and this showed in the results. I get great enjoyment out of working with my crew and the rest of the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP team.Their support for me has known no limit and I want to thank them sincerely for that. Im feeling greatly motivated to keep riding my YZR-M1 for the best results possible, this year and the following two seasons.Yamaha Motor Racing managing director Lin Jarvis added: I believe the confirmation of the extension with Valentino will be music to the ears of Yamaha fans and MotoGP fans around the world. I cannot think of a better way to start a new season than for both parties to make this strong commitment. When Vale returned home in 2013 it was a decision for life. This new agreement confirms that Vale will indeed finish his motorcycle racing career with Yamaha. Before that however all Yamaha fans can enjoy three full seasons of exciting performances from the Doctor as he challenges to win his tenth world title. St. Louis Cardinals Brett Cecil Jersey . After a 99-97 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, his Celtics coaches and teammates have only positive things to say about the Toronto-born rookie. Albert Pujols Cardinals Jersey . -- Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf has been suspended two games for his hit from behind on Kevan Miller of the Bruins. http://www.baseballcardinalsauthority.com/Yadier-Molina-Jersey/ . The former Edmonton Oilers defenceman was with the St. Louis Blues in training camp on a professional tryout. Whitney, 30, had four goals and 13 points in 34 games with the Oilers last season.CLEVELAND - The mistakes were inexcusable. Brian Hoyer didnt need anyone to tell him that.Clevelands quarterback spent part of Sunday beating himself up over his three interceptions before atoning for them by leading the Browns to a comeback win that could grow in significance as this season goes on.On Monday, Hoyers errors hadnt been forgotten. However, they had certainly been forgiven.I think the guys realize we wouldnt be where we are right now without Brian and that nobody is perfect, coach Mike Pettine said. When you see a guy whos that hard on himself and is that much of a perfectionist it means a lot and they are going to play for him.Hoyer may have saved Clevelands season — and maybe his job — with his gutty comeback in Atlanta. After throwing two interceptions in the fourth quarter, the second one leading to a field goal that gave the Falcons a 24-23 lead, Hoyer completed four passes in the final 44 seconds and drove the Browns in position to set up Billy Cundiffs 37-yard field goal as time expired.Before taking the field, wide receiver Andrew Hawkins said Hoyer, who had feared he had let his teammates down, gave them a quick pep talk.Brian was super poised, and before we went out there he said, Cmon guys, lets go down there and win this, Hawkins said. You know when Brian says that he means it so guys just stepped up to the plate.Following the game, Hoyer showed disgust and disappointment as he replayed the picks during an interview session. He was down despite the win, but Pettine said the QBs public acknowledgment of his miscues not only showed Hoyers leadership but a how close-knit the Browns have become.I just think thats what one of the biggest reasons why we are where we are, Pettine said. Guys care about each other, and they realize that theyre part of something bigger than themselves. I think that when youre involved in a team sport and you have that you have a chance to be special.Pettine said he never considered pulling Hoyer in favour of rookie backup Johnny Manziel.One of the leagues bigger surprises, the Browns (7-4) are in playoff contention and playing relevant games late in the season because of Hoyer, who also had Pro Bowl wide receiverr Josh Gordon on the field Sunday for the first time this season. Yadier Molina Cardinals Jersey. .Gordon caught eight passes for 120 yards, and his presence alone opened running and passing lanes.In the end, it was Hoyer who made the biggest plays, bouncing back from what he called the worst game of my career to deliver his fifth career fourth-quarter comeback win in just 14 starts.Hawkins said Hoyer has instilled a belief in the Browns.Ive said it before: I dont think theres ever a time during a game when we think were out of it because we have No. 6 running the show, said Hawkins, who had five catches for 93 yards. Its not just him. The guys around him are all busting their butts, but theres no question about it, hes the leader on offence. When you have confidence in your leader and he has confidence in himself and the rest of the team, the sky is really the limit on any given Sunday.On any given Sunday, the Browns are liable to make things interesting. Theyve had five games decided by three points or less and following the win in the Georgia Dome, Pettine could relax knowing that he, too, had overcome some coaching mistakes.Hoyer bailed himself and out, and everyone around him.Brian is very difficult on himself, Pettine said. Hes a competitor. Hes a perfectionist, and I just think in a sense he felt that...he was letting his teammates down with some of the plays that he had made. Sure, it obviously affected him, but I just think the way he handled it was outstanding — the resolve.Its a testament to his mental toughness and the teams mental toughness.NOTES: Pettine credited rookie OG Joel Bitonios hustling tackle for saving him when I lost my mind right before the half and decided to go for the 60-yarder. Cundiffs first attempt from 60 was short, but didnt count when the Falcons called time. Pettine had Cundiff try again, and Devin Hester returned it 75 yards and would have scored if not for Bitonio. That can end up being the play of the year for us, Pettine said. It makes my decision look not nearly as bad as it was. ... The Bills said Ralph Wilson Stadium will be ready for the Browns visit on Sunday.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
