What about the future of Valentino Rossi in Moto GP? The subject is still relevant and even if various indicators reasonably suggest that the Doctor will continue his sporting epic, nothing has yet been set in stone. At the threshold of 40 years, the nine-time winner knows that his quest for a tenth crown will be very complicated in the face of younger and sharper competition. But Vale thought hard, weighing the pros and cons. On his form, his Yamaha, his pleasure to ride, his performances… But not only that!
To make this delicate choice, the man from Tavullia also watches… TV. Other sports and athletes also form his opinion, the main part of which will revolve around his performance after the three test sessions of the off-season and his results after the first three Grands Prix of the 2018 campaign. Recently, another veteran, named of Roger Federer, 36, became a little more legendary in his sport, tennis, by winning his twentieth victory in a Grand Slam tournament at the end of the Australian Open.
An achievement that does not leave Maverick Viñales’ teammate indifferent… On this tennis feat, he comments: “ of course I saw the final, I always cheered for him. Roger is one of the athletes who inspired me the most, but now I have an extra reason to follow him. Since I am in a similar situation to his, each victory of his gives me special strength ". And one more element to put into the balance, which therefore moves a little further away from the retirement box. Thanks Roger!
