Valentino Rossi immediately protagonist in Valencia

So many memories, and unfortunately not all positive ones, for Valentino Rossi in Valencia. The Doctor, however, did not want to miss the weekend where the title of MotoGp world champion will be awarded. Clearly, the Doctor’s arrival at the Ricardo Tormo circuit did not go unnoticed: selfies and autographs for the number 46, who this year experienced his first year as a racing driver.

Rossi was caught by the cameras of Sky Sport as he was closely following the qualifying for Sunday’s race in the dual role of spectator but also of coach to Pecco Bagnaia, who will do his utmost to snatch out of Fabio Quartararo’s hands the scepter won by the Frenchman in 2021.

Sport-loving Italy is following what is happening in Valencia with bated breath. After six titles won by Valentino Rossi in eight years, it was the Spanish riders who took the lion’s share of the MotoGp world championship. From 2012 to 2020 only they have won, with Jorge Lorenzo a two-time world champion, Marc Marquez (6) and Joan Mir, triumphant in 2020 with his Suzuki before Quartararo’s success.
