Luca Marini, confession on Valentino Rossi: “It’s more difficult now.”

Ducati VR46 centaur Luca Marini scored his first career podium in MotoGp in Austin last weekend. Valentino Rossi’s brother explained the decisive role of advisor that the Doctor has had in recent years towards him: “For Valentino it was easier when he raced in MotoGP, after his retirement it is more difficult for him to give advice from home, also because he cannot see many things, and many things cannot be understood.”

“But when he visits us at the track, he tells me things that make me improve more than anyone else. It’s great to have him in the box and I hope he comes often in the future,” are the words reported by Motosan.

On a possible fight for the title: “It’s difficult in a championship like this, with so many fast riders on factory bikes. I will try to focus on myself, have fun and fight for the podium.”
