No Valentino Rossi, Luca Marini dejected: “There is no one…”

“This absence is very much felt and it is heavy,” said Valentino Rossi’s brother, Luca Marini

Misano is hosting its first MotoGp Grand Prix without Valentino Rossi, and Luca Marini’s first impressions are not so positive: “The biggest effect is that there is no one in the stands, that’s all. Then when you are on the track, whether Vale is there or not, it doesn’t change much. You always have to be very focused on the job, on the lap and on how to ride. But this absence is felt a lot and it’s heavy,” are the words of the Ducati rider reported by Corsedimoto.

“I hope all the fans in Italy and around the world can find new heroes, new idols to be inspired by because we need them,” continued the Doctor’s brother. The centaur of the Mooney VR46 team will start from seventh position on the grid.
