Valentino Rossi, Jerome Policand stunned: “He did it all.”

Jerome Policand impressed by Valentino Rossi

Valentino Rossi’s extraordinary comeback in Friday’s race run at the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans, which enabled Team WRT’s #46 BMW M4 to take the overall win, left ‘The Doctor’s’ teammate Jerome Policand, who had left the wheel of the car in fourth position, speechless, before the nine-time MotoGP champion made up lost ground.

“It was Vale who did all the work, he had an incredible pace,” are the French rider’s words collected by ‘L’Equipe’ after the podium ceremony. The Grenoble native and the champion from Tavullia were able to celebrate thanks to an extraordinary second half of the race, in which Valentino first managed to recover from fourth to second place, and then to be classified permanently in first position after the penalty imposed on the Ferrarista Cozzolino.
