Signature or no signature? Since Friday, the question has been stirring the web. La Gazzetta dello Sport ignited the powder by announcing an agreement signed between the Petronas Yamaha team and Valentino Rossi for two years organized as follows: the 2021 season and an optional year. We then said to ourselves that everything had been resolved, particularly the sensitive issue of setting up the Doctor's technical team. But the man who is still the boss of the team, Razlan Razali, played the spoilsport by asserting that all this was false, and that there was still work to be done before concluding. Vale's father, Graziano, responds. By superbly ignoring the Malaysian’s point…
We know how this will end, but we don't know what traces these delays will have on the official announcement of the arrival of Valentino Rossi within the Petronas Yamaha team. Because between the Doctor and Razlan Razali, team boss, there is a recurring communication problem.
For Italy, the deal is signed, but for Malaysia, we deny it. A cacophony that the father Graziano Rossi talks with this last intervention on 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'. He states thus: “ there was a bit of betrayed pride, but he felt that at Petronas he would have all the potential to do well and he decided to play his chances there ". A way of seeing things which must undoubtedly surprise Razlan Razali who would therefore have no other choice but to accept this decision from Vale.
“If you've spent your whole life on the track, the track becomes your life »
Graziano adds: “ Valentino has the intact desire of his 16 years, a whole and prepared physique and still a lot of determination. If you've spent your whole life on the track, the track becomes your life ". The Doctor will therefore not continue until age 43 for simple parade: “ he would like to finish winning and that's a bit what pushes him to look for other results, given that those of recent years are not in line with what he can do ».
Valentino Rossi has no plans to hang up his helmet even in the future. He will in fact aim for motor racing after his long period of 27 years in MotoGP. This is why he drove a day of testing in Misano with the Kessel team aboard the Ferrari 488 GT3... That being said, how will Petronas now organize its communication to announce what we already know after having denied it?
