Guido Meda and the bike loaned to Valentino Rossi

The words of Guido Meda

Guido Meda, host of Gianluca Gazzoli’s program on Radio Deejay, told an amusing anecdote about Valentino Eossi: “We had been guests of Fabio Volo for a broadcast, and I had arrived in the studios on a motorcycle: a brand-new MV Agusta Brutale. They had just launched it, it had just come out, and I had it on test.”

“When we went out in the evening, Vale noticed I was on the bike and started asking me questions about this Brutale, how it was going, how I was getting on. Until the fateful question: will you let me try it? A bike that was not mine, in the Milanese night and with the asphalt a bit damp, I was not so quiet, but I couldn’t say no to him! How do you tell Valentino Rossi that you don’t trust him. It was crazy cold, and Vale had told me just before that I was crazy to ride a motorcycle in those temperatures. It was night, there was even a bit of fog, and I saw him disappear in a few seconds, with the engine sounding full throttle.”
