Valencia, Oct 30: World champion Valentino Rossi may be keeping the pundits guessing as to his future plans as the Moto GP season draws to a close in Spain this weekend. Rossi has still not made an announcement on his machine, factory, team or sponsors for next season, and it remains to be seen if he will ride his Repsol Honda for the very last time here.

But despite all that uncertainty the Italian ace, who claimed his third straight world crown in Malaysia this month, has other matters on his mind.

The 24-year-old will be bidding to extend his run of podium finishes to 22, and equal the all-time record set by the legendary Giacomo Agostini between 1967 to 1969.
