Talking about retirement regarding Valentino Rossi This is apparently the new insult in the MotoGP paddock. At least that's the way Dorna's big boss, Carmelo Ezpeleta, sees things. And it is true that thinking of an end of activity for a driver who is still in the running for a world title may seem, at the very least, premature, out of place. However, you can always assess your pension rights just in case. And the site Tutomotoriweb reassures us on this point. By insisting in particular on a nice complement…
Incidentally, this also means that Valentino Rossi is there out of pure and total passion. Because in terms of achievements, he has demonstrated everything while he has enough until the end of his days to live a peaceful life. And yet, he continues to take risks, to wander the world, constantly questioning himself.
Otherwise, the Doctor is not only fast, but smart. He has set up a nice little business under the VR46 Racing label which sells products derived from his own opponents on the track. You had to think about it, even if sometimes it can be a problem. Like with Marc Márquez, for example, who is no longer a customer for reasons we know…
But otherwise, Dani Pedrosa, Carl Crutchlow, Alvaro Bautista, Bradley Smith, Espargaro Pol, Scott Redding, Maverick Vinales, Franco Morbidelli, the VR46 Academy riders and the Motocross World Champion Tony Cairoli are in the game. As well as the manufacturer Lamborghini and the Juventus football team in Turin.
The business started with an investment of 1.8 million euros. In 2013, the turnover was 8 million euros and it is 20 million now. After an increase of 35% this year, net profits are 3,5 million euros. 44 employees are hired and six were hired last year. The majority of staff are on indefinite contracts. Something to keep busy in retirement, certainly… But as late as possible!
