Luca Marini: "Biennial for Vale and Totti"

A two-year contract for Valentino Rossi and Francesco Totti. That’s what Luca Marini, brother of the multiple world champion who will participate in the Moto2 World Championship with Team Forward, hopes for.

The boy will race with the number 10, the number of his birth day but also Totti’s. “Francesco is a great person, a true champion. And for me, as a Roma fan, a symbol,” he told local Espresso Group newspapers. “I am on his side in the affair that pitted him against coach Spalletti. For me, someone like that should play all the time: even at the Santiago Bernabeu they gave him an ovation and they know a lot about soccer over there. Will I invite him to Mugello? If it were up to me I would invite him to all the Grand Prix, although I think it’s hard for him to come to Qatar, since on the 19th there’s the match with Inter, which by the way is my brother’s favorite team. But the important thing is that as long as Francesco has passion he doesn’t hang up his shoes, for me he can still say a lot. A nice two-year deal for Totti and Valentino, then? Maybe. The more fun they have, the more fun we have. And let them stop as late as possible for the sake of world sport.”
