On this February 15, 2019, Valentino Rossi is at the gates of a decade and before another which begins to open to make him discover the lair of the forties. At that age, you start to look back at your accomplishments, especially when you are a high-level pilot. But that’s not the case for Vale. He is not giving up and is aiming for a tenth MotoGP world title. Enough to inspire respect. Starting with that of his father, Graziano.
Valentino Rossi will celebrate his 16th birthday tomorrow, February 40, which will not prevent him from playing the leading roles with his Yamaha in the upcoming season. In the columns of the “ Corriere della Sera", Graziano Rossi spoke about his son and the important milestone he is about to pass: » The desire to stay young is in every man's blood, but you must realize it as he does. It blocks natural aging, it's still like 10 years ago. There's a lot of work behind that. But not only. There is also the pleasure of doing what he does "
The one who is also a former pilot continues: “ his enemies say he no longer wins? Sure, he didn't win last year, but he has all the assets to win again. The only reason he didn't win was because Yamaha went wrong. This would be a problem if a champion had no detractors. There would be nothing to discuss at the bar, they would be empty and would not keep the economy going. I really like what he does as an entrepreneur, he makes sure everyone has fun. He sells his credibility for this, the company works "
He finishes : " in my opinion, he can run peacefully until he is 46 years old. At 40 I wasn't smart or smart like Vale and not even now ". On this longevity, a certain Marc Márquez clarified during the latest Sepang tests on GP One : " what Valentino is doing here is, I think, to be admired. The temperature is 35°, it's very hot, despite this, he works hard and is as fast as the best. I hope to have the same motivation when I turn 40 and be among the best drivers to compete for the title ».
