Valentino Ros📖si would welcome the return of his former crew chief Jerry Burgess to MotoGP next season.

Un🤪confirmed reports from Italy su🌟ggest the 61-year-old Australian - who won 13 titles as a crew chief for Rossi, Mick Doohan and Wayne Gardner - could be called up to work with teenage countryman Jack Miller.

The Moto3 title lea൩der continues to be closely linked with a move straight to MotoGP with LCR Honda, while Burgess is theoretically available after Rossi decided to en👍d their 14-year partnership at the end of last year.

"I read about this on Twitter I think," Rossi said of the Burgess/Miller rumour. "I'm very happy if Jeremy comes back. He came to one race thisꦛ year, we stayed together a bit. He is in a good shape.

"I don't know if it is true or not, but ♔I think for me it would be a very good option [for Miller] to have Jeremy in his box. Because for sure Jeremy could teach him a lot of s⭕ecrets and a lot of tricks about MotoGP.

"I'm happy if Jeremy comes back because like any good old fr🐻iend, you a꧑re happy to see them again."

Casey Stoner's former Ducati and Honda crew chief Christian ꧙Gabbarini, now working as a HRC Engineer, is another big name being linked with Mꦡiller for next year.
