Valentino Rossi – Ducati: Mattia Pasini has no doubts

The rider from Romagna sends a message to the Dottore.

Mattia Pasini spoke about the future of Valentino Rossi, who will soon announce his decision for 2022. On the possible return of the number 46 on the saddle of a Ducati bolide, the Rimini rider expressed himself as follows: “I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything! But of course, on a Ducati he would go strong,” he told mowmag.

Pasini expects a brighter Doctor in the second part of the season: “I expect a Valentino who returns to fight in the leading group, or at least in the top 5.”

On Pecco Bagnaia: “I would like to see a Pecco who brings home the results that I think he deserves, because anyway you know… He also had some bad luck, I think of the yellow flag in qualifying that made him start behind, or the crash at Mugello. In my opinion he was unfocused because of the tragedy on Saturday that was announced just before MotoGP. There it could have been a first victory, but in the second half of the season I really expect him to be a protagonist.”

Franco Morbidelli maybe in the official Yamaha next season: “If we talk about meritocracy, something we see a little less of lately in MotoGP, Franco would definitely deserve the official bike after what they put him through this year. As a vice world champion running with the worst Yamaha of the lot is really an unfair and frustrating thing. However, despite this, he is trying hard.
