Valentino Rossi is approaching the MotoGP double meeting at Misano. The “Tavullia in moto” event has been canceled, but its Fan Club will be present.

It will be an “extra-ordinary” weekend in Misano for local hero Valentino Rossi. The coronavirus emergency puts a barrier to the yellow tide which generally invades the stands of the Adriatic circuit. The biker pilgrimage that takes place every year between the circuit and Tavullia will be decimated, although its fans will not be lacking, since up to 10 thousand of them will be welcomed every day.

The San Marino GP is being duplicated this year and for the Doctor it will be an opportunity not to be missed to collect big points in the standings. The friendly turns can work in favor of the Yamaha M1, but it will immediately be necessary to take the measure of the new asphalt still unknown to the Iwata prototypes. This time the brakes should not cause problems, unlike what happened in Austria and Brno, but there remains the unknown of the engines with which we will have to live for a long time. It won't be the weekend of official announcements, but the ghosts of Rossi's possible farewell at the end of the championship have been definitively wiped out by Razlan Razali.

Canceled events in Tavullia

This year, the traditional “Tavullia in Moto” meeting will not take place in its stronghold. This would bring VR46 Academy drivers, hundreds of journalists and thousands of fans to the city for three days of fun. “ Unfortunately, we had to make this decision for security reasons”, explain the mayor of Tavullia Francesca Paolucci and the head of tourism Patrizio Federici. “ The security protocols impose a series of prescriptions that we could not have guaranteed due to the many people who come to Tavullia at this time, especially with regard to the traceability of spectators and social distancing of participants. »

There will certainly be fans visiting the Valentino Rossi Fans Club, and they will have to comply with all anti-Covid-19 regulations. In addition to the historic “1”, the 2004 Yamaha with which he triumphed in Welkom remains on display. “ The first victory with Yamaha. I think it was the most important victory of my career. » But some kiosks are also installed in Piazza Primo Maggio in Cattolica. “ Don't miss the opportunity to take a photo with the historic banner of the 100th Grand Prix won by Valentino Rossi », announced his official Fan Club.

The color yellow, even in this season of health emergency, will not be missing in the stands of the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
