MotoGP, Luca Marini: “I don’t see my brother Valentino Rossi retiring in two years”

The retirement of Valentino Rossi is a recurring subject that has been discussed for almost ten years now. It is the person himself who points out that people are constantly predicting a well-deserved rest for him after so many years of fighting and campaigns. But also glory. However, this interest in his health which he could extend into a life of idleness counting his pennies and contemplating his work does not interest him. His younger brother Luca marini confirms this and warns: even two years from now, he doesn't see him hanging up his helmet...

This two-year deadline will indeed mark the end of his current contract with Yamaha. But rather than an epilogue, it would only be one more step for the quadra… “ He has the spirit of a young man, when he is with us he gives advice, he seems like one of our peers, of our generation » tells the Journal of Sport Luca marini that holds the top spot. " If you could see him every day, not only on the track, but also at home, you wouldn't be surprised that he continues to race. He is also hard to beat in training and if that happens the race will be repeated. He's definitely not considering the opt-out option, I don't think he'll retire in two years ».

The facts of a final Qatar Grand Prix where he started fourteenth to finish fifth lend credence to this prediction: “ he may have the spirit of a young person, but he is also a man of great experience. He looks like one of us. He really wants to win, motorcycle racing is what still fascinates him the most » insists the Sky VR46 Moto2 rider.

Vale's real concern is in any case the level of his Yamaha. While waiting for her to return to the front group of MotoGP, he continues to train with the riders of the VR46 Riders Academy who help him to stay young and competitive.
