MotoGP fan favorite Valentino Rossi tested positive for Covid-19. This will mean that the Monster Energy Yamaha rider will miss this weekend’s MotoGP 2020 round in Aragon, Spain, as well as next weekend’s Teruel Grand Prix, which will be held at the same location.
The positive test result came after Rossi returned home to Tavullia, Italy, after the MotGP Le Mans round in France. Mandatory initial tests for Covid-19 on October 13 and 15 returned a negative result, but a third standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was positive.
“I am so disappointed that I had to miss the race in Aragon. I would like to be optimistic and confident, but I hope that the second round in Aragon is also a ‘no go’ for me … I am sad and angry because I did everything possible to respect the protocol and although the test I had on Tuesday was negative, I isolated myself since my arrival at Le Mans, ”said Rossi.
Rossi, who moves to the Petronas Yamaha Sepang Racing Team satellite team in 2021, is having a pretty bumpy season this year. This despite a third place in Jerez at the Andalusian Grand Prix last July.
