Pecco Bagnaia, Valentino Rossi’s crucial advice to confirm himself as champion

Behind the world encore is 'è important advice signed 'Doctor'.

Valentino Rossi behind the triumph of Pecco Bagnaia, confirmed as MotoGP world champion at the end of a 2023 that began by dominating, continued with a dangerous drop that facilitated the comeback of Jorge Martin and then ended with the championship victory. But the Piedmontese rider, when all is said and done, wanted to tell how crucial it was for him to compare himself with the Tavullia star to overcome the difficulties he faced during the season.

The key to Bagnaia’s season è has been Montmelò, a track that saw him protagonist of a dangerous accident complete with Brad Binder’s bike that è passed over his legs. "For two weeks I felt a very strong physical pain,” Pecco revealed to 'Tuttosport' -I had a leg of all colors, except the one that should have had it. It was so swollen that it was ugly even to the eye. I was back on track already; a few days later, in Misano. And people think I am a superhero because of that. The truth, however, è that for two and a half months that accident was not out of my head".

Hence the crucial confrontation with Valentino Rossi. And his advice to Bagnaia: "He told me to enjoy things and not think too much. He was right. That is also why now I only have these vacations in my head. For the championship to come, there will be time. And I already say that when you win, you just want to win again. And so I don’t want to stop at three titles, I aim to go on like thisì without setting myself any limits".
