Critics say that compared to the other manufacturers, Ducati had a significant way to go before being competitive even with Rossi at the helm. This proved to be the truth with Ducati's lacklustre performance in the 2004 season, which had actually been worse than their inaugural year in MotoGP in 2003. In his 2005 autobiography, <i>What If I'd Never Tried It?</i>, Rossi offered another reason for choosing Yamaha over Ducati, saying that the mindset at Ducati Corse was similar to the one he was trying to escape from at Honda. Ultimately, Rossi signed a two-year contract with rivals Yamaha reportedly worth in excess of US$12 million; a price no other manufacturer, even Honda, was willing to pay.<sup id="cite_ref-85" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>84<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-auto5_32-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto5-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-86" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-86"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Yamaha_(2004–2010)"><span id="Yamaha_.282004.E2.80.932010.29"></span>Yamaha (2004–2010)</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Valentino_Rossi&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Yamaha (2004–2010)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="2004">2004</h5><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Valentino_Rossi&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: 2004"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Yamaha_YZR-M1_2004.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Yamaha_YZR-M1_2004.jpg/220px-Yamaha_YZR-M1_2004.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="168" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Yamaha_YZR-M1_2004.jpg/330px-Yamaha_YZR-M1_2004.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Yamaha_YZR-M1_2004.jpg/440px-Yamaha_YZR-M1_2004.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1342" data-file-height="1024" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Yamaha_YZR-M1" title="Yamaha YZR-M1">Yamaha YZR-M1</a> used by Rossi in the <a href="/wiki/2004_Grand_Prix_motorcycle_racing_season" title="2004 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season">2004</a> season</figcaption></figure> <p>Rossi made the switch from Honda to Yamaha and signed a two-year contract with the team.<sup id="cite_ref-87" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-87"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>86<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-88" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-88"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>87<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many doubted his move and would expect Biaggi, who joined the <a href="/wiki/Pons_Racing" title="Pons Racing">Honda Pons</a> team a year earlier, as well as Gibernau to be genuine contenders for the title this year. </p><p>With the traditional first venue of the season in <a href="/wiki/Suzuka_Circuit" class="mw-redirect" title="Suzuka Circuit">Suzuka</a> having been taken off the calendar due to safety concerns following the fatal accident of <a href="/wiki/Daijiro_Kato" title="Daijiro Kato">Daijiro Kato</a> in 2003, the 2004 season started in <a href="/wiki/Phakisa_Freeway" title="Phakisa Freeway">Welkom</a> in South Africa.

Rossi often found himself battling on the track with Capirossi and Biaggi, dubbing them "the three musketeers" by the Italian press.
