Will Valentino Rossi be tempted by the Ducati? The answer comes from Michele Pirro. The latter is the linchpin of the Ducati factory which can be inhabited by the noble feeling of a job well done. You just have to remember how the last Valencia Grand Prix unfolded to realize that we have perhaps entered an era of domination by the machines from Borgo Panigale. On a track which is not historically favorable to them, they occupied the first row at the end of qualifying and the first three places at the end of the race. Enough to arouse curiosity and the desire to try it. Exactly…
Valentino Rossi is now retired and therefore free of his choices and his time. Although it is undoubtedly historically linked to Yamaha , he is also the owner of a team VR46 in MotoGP which will line up in 2022 two Ducati. Machines that crushed the competition in Valencia. So much so that they are already the scarecrows of the next season. Jack Miller thus signaled progress by recalling that not so long ago, the Italian motorcycle was a repellent and that now everyone wants it...
An interest that the passionate Valentino Rossi cannot ignore. Exactly, Michele Pirro spills the beans on his social network: “ I asked him to do a few laps on the Ducati DesmosediciGP and he will do it. When I arrived at Ducati, he was still there, and I know what he went through. For years, only Casey Stoner, who has so much pure talent, rode the Ducati and won. Well, seeing how things went on Sunday in Valencia, we can say that something has changed in recent years from a technical point of view ».
He ends on GP One : " many will say that the World Riders Championship was won elsewhere, but true fans and Ducatisti can be proud of the improvements that have been made, thanks to all the boys at DUCATI CORSE. Since last year, Ducati has decided to focus on young riders. Let's give them time. The possibility of bringing the drivers' championship back to Borgo Panigale is high. THANK YOU VALE…THANK YOU DUCATI"
Luca Marini on Valentino Rossi: “two laps on the Ducati won’t hurt”
Certainly, but if Red has a sudden revelation about a GP22 and thinks there is something to be done? In this case, we can count on his half-brother Luca Marini to reason with him… He says in fact: “ he always said that being on his team would be strange, that he wouldn't want to run. I agree with his decision, it's fair, it's good to end your career with Yamaha, it's a beautiful novel ».
And as a wild card? “ I will not do it, even if you are a phenomenon, it is impossible to keep up with those who run every Sunday, the level is too high. And then it depends on your heart, if you have this love for the Yamaha and you want to develop it to win the world championship, ok. But if not, two laps on the Ducati won't hurt ". However, Luca marini encourages him to continue in his choice of motor racing: “ he's sure he'll find a good car and I don't think he'll be the last to arrive ».
