It is a little disappointed that Valentino Rossi left the Misano track which he knows very well. Two Grands Prix were contested there consecutively. That of San Marino, from which he left happy and reinvigorated, then that of Emilia Romagna which was heartbreaking. That's it when we say take pep pills. The descent from seventh heaven to the bottom can be brutal. In Barcelona this weekend, Vale admits not knowing what to expect. At the very least, he can speculate on an official announcement of his contract with Petronas…

I don't know what to expect from Barcelona, the track conditions are very different from Misano. We will find different conditions than last year, I hope to be competitive » complete Valentino Rossi.
In Barcelona it should be officially announced that in 2021 Vale will continue his career with the team Petronas Yamaha. He will take his historic telemetry operator Matthew Flamigni, the new chief engineer David munoz et l'entraineur Idalio Gavira with him. An annual contract is expected, but the millions of fans can sleep peacefully. Valentino Rossi will stay in the paddock for a long time. In fact, the label VR46 works to raise its new star Luca marini, who is none other than the half-brother of whom you know…
