Reigning world MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo will end his nine-year stay with Yamaha at the end of 2016, after signing for Ducati. Kirby Puckett Jersey . The 28-year-old Spaniard has won three world titles with Yamaha but will call it a day with the team when the current season comes to an end in November. The Mallorca-born rider has signed a two-year deal with Ducati whose two riders for this season are Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone.Yamaha have already confirmed that Italian great Valentino Rossi, a winner of seven championships in the blue riband category of motor-cycling, will remain with the team for the next two seasons. They will announce their second rider later in the year.A Yamaha statement reads: After three incredible titles, 41 race wins and 99 podiums, Jorge Lorenzo and Yamaha will part ways after the 2016 season.Yamaha is extremely grateful for Jorges contributions to its racing successes and looks forward to sharing more memorable moments during the remaining 15 rounds of 2016.During the past seven seasons, Lorenzo won the title in 2010, 2012 and 2015, while also posting three runner-up finishes and a third place.During his title-winning campaign last year, when Lorenzo pipped Rossi by five points, the pair endured a fractious relationship.Rossi believed Lorenzos compatriots Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa were helping their fellow Spaniard during the battle for the title.Lorenzo then accused his team-mate of sour grapes saying, at the end of the season: Its obvious there are younger riders who are faster than him.It must be frustrating not to have the speed that would have allowed him to win more races and arrive in Valencia with a greater advantage.None of this controversy and comments would have happened if Valentino had the speed of Marc, of myself, and had won more races.With a bit more speed and consistency, and without what happened at Sepang, he could have arrived in Valencia with a clear advantage and won the championship comfortably. Rossi did not attend the end of year gala prize giving. Rod Carew Jersey . Berkman almost left the game last off-season before signing with the Texas Rangers.

It feels very different to any other match Ive ever won. All those (milestone) numbers didnt mean anything to me, but for some reason 1,000 means a lot because its such a huge number. Just alone to count to 1,000 is going to take a while.Federer clearly wanted to reach the milestone before the Australian Open, breaking Raonics serve in the third game and again in the opening game of the second set. He fired eight of his eventual 21 aces in the first set, taking on the big-serving Canadians strength. Just as it appeared Federer would coast to a comfortable victory, though, Raonic shook off his nerves to break back in the fourth game of the second set and swing the momentum.Federer had another half-chance to clinch it in two, getting an early mini-break in the tiebreaker, but Raonic went on a roll to win seven straight points and level the match.The 33-year-old Swiss star responded by serving an ace to open the third set, but he needed all his experience to save three break-point chances in that lengthy game.Tension continued to build as Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., was forced to save two break points in each of the fourth and sixth games, and missed two chances on Federers serve in the fifth.Only one point went against serve in the next three games until Raonic was serving to stay in the match. He was leading 30-15 when Federer produced a pin-point topspin lob that forced an error, and then came a double-fault — Raonics first of the set and fourth of the match — to give Federer a championship point.Raonic netted a forehand on the next point, and Federer raissed his arms to acknowledge the Federer 1,000 placards and red-and-white Swiss flags being waved around Pat Rafter Arena.

It means so much more than just running away with it. I guess I was much more happy having to go three sets in the end.Raonic said he did everything he could but didnt quite have the answer to beat Federer for the second time in their nine head-to-heads. Still, he didnt mind being part of the big occasion.Its great to see because you know how much hes done for tennis. He turned pro I think it was like 10 years before me, Raonic said. Its great to see everything hes done for tennis. The fans hes brought, the media attention hes brought ... hes definitely the most popular tennis player of all time.Ballboys held up 1,000 in big, white numerals near the net during the presentation ceremony, when Federer accepted mementoes from Australian tennis greats Roy Emerson and Rod Laver: the Roy Emerson Trophy and, from Laver, a framed montage of images with the words Congratulations Roger, 1,000 match wins.Special moment. Im glad I got it, Federer said. To get to 1,000 match wins in front of you guys ... it really means a lot to me. Ill never forget this match.In a career of so many milestones, Federer welcomed another and was glad to get it done before the season-opening major.He hasnt added to his collection of Grand Slam titles since his 2012 Wimbledon triumph, but showed signs last year hes no spent force by finishing No. 2 in the rankings, helping Switzerland to its first Davis Cup crown and finishing the season with five titles and a 73-12 record.Federer said he hasnt got Connors record number of wins in his sights, yet, but he does have ambitions to win more major titles. That quest begins Jan. 19 at Melbourne Park, where he hasnt returned to the final since winning the last of his four Australian Open titles in 2010.Yeah, I do believe that, he said. Clearly I do believe I have a shot in Melbourne, otherwise I would go home.
