According to some, and not the least, like Giacomo Agostini, the popularity of Valentino Rossi is declining. The fault is a drought of victories which would erode the interest in the Doctor who nevertheless still remains an essential character in the paddock. Because Vale does not only exist through the driver who won nine world titles. He is also in the landscape with a Sky VR46 adventure which is an extension of the champion breeding carried out within the academy based at the Tavullia ranch. And Rossi says it: in 2020, he will follow each of his flock from the wall at each of the Grands Prix...
The career of Valentino Rossi lasts longer than the age of fabio quartararo. This shows the monument it represents. Now over 40 years old, he is not unworthy, far from it, however, victories, and even podiums, are rare. No matter, others reap them thanks to him, who brought together talents under the awning Sky Racing Team VR46. A structure which already has six seasons under its belt and which deserved to have its journey recounted in a book entitled “Racing years”.
In this work, Vale mentions: “ I often think back to when we started... The excitement of the debut in Qatar, the first podiums, the first victory, the team that took shape year after year. But my favorite moments are those that are yet to come. » We will recall that it all started in 2014 with Roman Fenati in Moto3, then enriched Moto2017 in 2 with the title in 2018 alongside Pecco Bagnaia.
From the seraglio also emerged Franco Morbidelli, but under other colors, while there are also defections, like Bulega, Foggia et Baldassarri who decided to branch off: “ some of our children have grown up, today they walk without help, but the affection and respect that binds them to this family is something special » assures the Yamaha official who will decide its future in 2020.
What is certain is that, without Red, the Italian generation would not be where it is: “ Sepang 2018 was one of the most important moments of my life, not just sporting », admitted Valentino Rossi who saw his brother during this Malaysian Grand Prix Marini win his first victory and his teammate bagnaia gird the crown. Moments that he only asks to relive so well that he announces for 2020: “ every Sunday I will be at the pit wall to share these emotions and this passion with them »
