Valentino Rossi, bitter confession on the current MotoGp

Valentino Rossi in an interview with La Stampa made a bitter reflection on the current MotoGp and social media: “Mine was one of the last generations that met at the bar, rode around on rigged mopeds, made cars to go to the movies, there were companies. After dinner, you would leave the house and go to the meeting point, without calling anyone. It’s a great loss, everything has changed, and I consider myself lucky.”

“Now anything you say bounces around on 300 sites and you carry the consequences for at least two weeks. You do a half-hour interview and then you look for the headline to get clicks, that bothers you. What happens? There is a faux political correctness among sportsmen, they are all friends, they hug each other. Is it nice? I liked it better before, when people said what they thought.”

The Doctor regrets past diatribes: “It’s human that you get on your nerves who does the same thing as you do or better say, no matter if you are a doctor, a pizza maker, a pilot. Having to hide it always makes everything more fake.”
