Valentino Rossi: the confession of Pecco Bagnaia

The Ducati centaur: “I feel privileged, his riding has always fascinated me at every race.”

MotoGp world champion Pecco Bagnaia in an interview with La Stampa spoke about his mentor Valentino Rossi: “I am proud to say I am a friend of Valentino, I feel lucky and privileged. I try to use his experience to grow, his riding has always fascinated me at every race. He could win even when he was slower, displacing his opponents.”

According to Bagnaia, Rossi, Marquez and Stoner are the three riders who have most influenced MotoGp: “Valentino Rossi was someone who was able to go through changes while always remaining a winner, a true leader. Marc Marquez, on the other hand, has been able to move beyond the limit, while Casey Stoner has invented a way of motorcycle racing. These are the riders who have made the difference in motorsport.”
