Valentino Rossi’s phrases were undoubtedly the most anticipated at Misano, where the first of two consecutive Grand Prix will be held on Sunday.
The Doctor denied rumors that he will retire at the end of this season, giving way to Andrea Dovizioso. “It is not true,” he assured, “the situation is the same as two weeks ago. We take our time, we are not in a hurry, I will race with Petronas at 99%. Maybe we can make an official announcement in Barcelona. My retirement would undoubtedly be great news, but I have already explained many times that I want to race but perhaps it is more interesting to say that I stop ”. “Racing at Misano is always special, for me in particular – added Yamaha number 46, moving on to upcoming events -. I grew up on this track, although it has changed a lot. There will also be some audience, it will be a small step towards normality. In Austria it was tough, here we can be more competitive and fight for the podium ”.
“We are very busy with this calendar but we are always in Europe and it is also easy to go home for a few days: there is no jet lag and this simplifies many things. Of course it is strange to run two races on the same circuit… ”explained the two-wheeled champion. “I am very jealous of the F1 drivers because this year we do not race at Mugello and they do. It was incredible to drive the Ferrari on that circuit, which I consider one of the most beautiful in the world. Maybe the track is a bit narrow, because the cars are wide. But I’m sure they’ll have fun, ”concluded Rossi, talking about the race that will take place on Sunday in Tuscany.
A thought also for Jorge Martín, who is positive in the Covid-19 will not be able to go out to the Misano track and therefore will lose an opportunity: “It was unlucky, I am very sorry for him. Good luck”.
