MotoGP Carlo Pernat: “we need the bike to start again with Valentino Rossi”

Getting back on the track, starting races again are the imperatives of a Dorna promoter for its MotoGP and its Grands Prix. The survival of his paddock, which is currently on an emergency drip, is at stake. Which, by definition cannot last forever. However, the coronavirus and the measures it imposes do not want to let anything go. However, we are working on a European trip with reduced numbers and no public. But in any case, it will take a Valentino Rossi…

Le MotoGP is hit hard by a pandemic which is causing a major and general crisis across the entire planet. The first shock forced us to take shelter, we must now come out of our hole to go about our business, unless we face economic and social death. But for that, it is necessary to establish new rules and new processes. A challenge.

When this still new framework is defined, what we put in it must be attractive. For the MotoGP, all its living forces will not be too much, and, among them, one Valentino Rossi with an intact aura and a loyal audience... Even if they will have to resign themselves to only seeing it on television.

The importance of Valentino Rossi in the paddock and beyond was remembered by a Charles Pernat who knows him very well. So perfectly in fact that he assures that with or without coronavirus, the Doctor would have been in the 2021 season anyway… “ From what I saw already last year, he doesn't give up » begins the Italian on Sportfair. " His passport says he is 41, but that's just a joke. He is more like 26 or 27 years old. He has a lean and sharp physique, he trains… I know him very well and he is terrified of stopping. The motorcycle is his Disneyland. He's having fun like crazy and he always wants to win. »

« He can play for the top 5 and maybe a few podiums »Continues Feathered. " I'm also a good friend of Giacomo Agostini, and if he stopped at 37, it's because he always wanted to win. Valentino is having fun even if he is fourth or fifth, he doesn't care. We will see it in 2021, and we would have seen it no matter what. This whole race-as-evaluation thing was a joke. »

The Italian also ends with this imperative: “ the bike has to start again with Valentino. The day he is no longer there, it will be difficult to keep the public who are there because they love his character. It's not just fans who love the bike for its own sake. We will leave with him. » Vale is so motivated that he even started virtual running, just for fun!
