“I saw a shooting star and wished I knew Valentino Rossi. After a month…”

Andrea Migno to the microphones of Gpone.com spoke about his meeting with Valentino Rossi and his entry into the Academy: “I was outside the bar of the club in Città del Monte, I was 14 years old, in the middle of summer and I was straiato with my friends looking at the sky. I saw a shooting star and wished I knew Valentino Rossi. Not even a month later a mutual friend invited us to go to Ducati’s Misano test con, it was 2012: that’s where I first met him, then I went to see the Ranch and one thing pulled the other.”

The years at the Academy “have been the best of my life, because they gave me the chance to fuel my dreams,they gave me all the opportunities to pursue my career and I couldn’t thank them enough. It’s a blessing to be part of this group of great guys and Valentino decided to help us. In Argentina there were four Academy riders up front there, you can see things are working and I’m happy to be part of it.”
