You're not interested enough in social media to follow several hundred drivers, but you don't like to miss any of the little stories that animate MotoGP (Moto2 and Moto3), the World SBK and the other categories? This daily column is made for you, to start the day off right while waiting for more substantial but sometimes less unusual articles! Today, discover the meeting between Roger Federer and Valentino Rossi.
The 93rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans (car) was launched by tennis legend Roger Federer. He was chosen to start the world's greatest endurance race this Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 16 p.m. sharp.
Roger Federer's choice is no coincidence. With 20 Grand Slam titles, 310 weeks at the top of the ATP rankings, and an exemplary career, he embodies elegance, respect, and high standards—values dear to the spirit of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
To share this experience with his fans on Instagram, the Swiss posted some photos of this day spent in Le Mans. What an honor to wave the flag and kick off the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans 🏁 A big thank you to @rolex @24heuresdumans – an unreal experience 🙌 Good luck to all the drivers! 🏎️⏱️☕️ »
In this post, he also shared a photo with a particular rider, chosen from among the hundreds of entrants in La Sarthe last weekend. In this photo, he poses alongside a certain Valentino Rossi, a MotoGP legend who is now involved in endurance racing.. This duo brings together two of the biggest stars in world sport, who were also seen on screen, having a long chat.
Unfortunately for Valentino Rossi, the No. 46 BMW he was driving at Le Mans suffered a technical problem before nightfall, forcing his crew to retire.
