Luca marini is the half-brother of a certain Valentino Rossi and he races Grand Prix. An association that could give the impression of making his life easier in this ruthless environment. Especially since he is also a member of the VR46 Academy. But that would be wrong about the man who revealed himself this season in Moto2 by winning his first victory. Because he is the one who marks his journey…

And for the moment, he's tracing it as it should. So, when Luca marini began to take his first steps in Grand Prix, many thought they would see him in the premier category only when his brother, Valentino Rossi, would retire. But the sudden explosion of the young pilot and the extension of the Doctor's career began to build the idea that we might one day see them both together in the same category.

In fact, Luca marini will start a season as a protagonist for the title in Moto2, which will mean a possible promotion to MotoGP by 2020. Valentino Rossi still having two years of contract with Yamaha, the reunion of the two could therefore be possible.

Luca marini commented on his rise: “ The progress so far has been incredible. She started riding a mini motorbike at the age of four. As a child, I didn't know what Vale was. My parents always allowed me to do whatever I wanted, of course Vale may have influenced me, but I always do what I love ».

The SKY Racing driver continued on Tutomotoriweb : " my parents and Vale always advised me, but I was always free to make my choices. When I decided to run, they were all happy. This year I saw a calmer mother than Valentino. For the moment, I'm not at Vale's level but I hope to become one of his rivals. I want to continue racing for years, so I can go to MotoGP ».

He ends with a remark that clearly recalls the state of mind of his elder: “ At first I wore the 97, then I moved to the 10 because in Moto2 the 97 was busy. The 10th is the day I was born and it's very important in football. I'm a big Rome fan and 10 is Totti's number ».
