Casey Stoner thanks Valentino Rossi

The words of Casey Stoner

It was a special Sunday for Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi: the former Australian centaur, after passing through Milan for the EICMA, paid a visit to the "Ranch" of Tavullia where he spent a day in the saddle with his lifelong rival.

"A lot has changed between Vale and me in the last 12 years: family, friends, but the passion for motorcycles will always be the same. Thank you for the opportunity to share the track with you once again", wrote Stoner posting a video of the past day.

Jannik Sinner meanwhile in a meeting with tennis school kids at the Nike Store in Turin also spoke about former MotoGP star Valentino Rossi, revealing that he was inspired by the Doctor regarding one particular aspect before matches. "Playing with the cap for me è very important, almost like the helmet for MotoGP riders", explained the tennis player from San Candido, who gave Valentino's example. 

"In an interview Valentino Rossi said that when he lowers the visor for him there is only the race,” Sinner recounted. “For me è when there starts to be only tennis".
