The Moto3 rider from Petronas hopes to see the number 46 arrive in the structure so that he can benefit from his great experience and, why not, realize his dream of training with him on his ranch.
It's no longer a secret: Valentino Rossi is on track to sign with Petronas Yamaha SRT for 2021 after Fabio Quartararo's signing to the factory Yamaha team forced him to leave. The officialization, which everyone is waiting for, should arrive at the time of the first MotoGP Grand Prix of the season, in Jerez, on July 19.
In any case, there is one who impatiently waits for the rumors to become true, it is Khairul Idham Pawi, which evolves in the Petronas structure in Moto3. “It would be great to have him on the team”, he told Maximilian Wendl for the Germanic site Speedweek. com. “He is a hero, he is a nine-time World Champion and we can only learn from his experience. I would like to train with him. »
It is true that the Malaysian has found himself in difficulty since his move to Moto2 in 2017, and his desire to come down to Moto3 to start from scratch illustrates this well. Although he moved up very quickly to the intermediate category, after only one season and two incredible victories in the wet in Moto3, his lack of experience handicapped him. However, despite his timid 26th place during the Qatar Grand Prix, he appears motivated and would benefit greatly from Rossi's advice, especially if he were able to go and train at his Ranch. “I would love to go there, it’s my dream He said.
Pawi will have to wait a little longer to see if the Doctor will indeed arrive in the Petronas structure, and a little longer to find out if he himself will still be there in 2021, because for the moment his future has not been decided. “I would like to focus on this season first and wait to see my results. We will have enough time to talk about the future”, did he declare.
