Luca Marini, the backstory: “I never talked about it with Valentino Rossi.”

VR46 team rider Luca Marini speaks ahead of the last race of the season

Team VR46 centaur Luca Marini spoke ahead of the Valencia Grand Prix, the last race of the MotoGp season: “It has never been my favorite track, however, this year I have done well at tracks where I have suffered in the past. I will try to do the same here.”

Traditionally being the last race of the year, Valencia has often been the scene of decisive events for the World Championship, such as in 2006 when it reserved a bitter feeling for his brother Valentino Rossi, who fell handing Nicky Hayden the world title: “That race I watched it and I remember it, but I never talked about it with Vale, since they are things I don’t like to do.”

On Pecco Bagnaia’s close title: “He is very calm, it will be a special weekend. If he wins it doesn’t change anything for me, but it will be a great result for VR46,” are the words reported by Gpone.
