Luca Marini, backstory on Valentino Rossi: “He didn’t know either.”

Team VR46 centaur Luca Marini after the Mugello race revealed a backstory about Valentino Rossi, who was present in the pits during the race: “My weak point was the last corner. Pecco Bagnaia was magical in the last corner this weekend, he had that extra something that no one else found. I asked Vale for advice, but he didn’t know how to help me.”

“He told me, ‘Don’t worry, I haven’t found the best way to deal with that last corner in 20 years. I can’t help you…’ We sat down, looked at the data and some videos, but we still couldn’t find a solution. I always lost one or two tenths at the exit of the last corner,” are the words reported by Corsedimoto. Marini still finished fourth in the Italian Grand Prix, despite a sore hand.
