At 17 p.m., as usual, the drivers invited to the press conference as a prelude to the Emilie Grand Prix presented themselves in the room, and the Dorna Sports cameras started.
At least five of them, Andrea Dovizioso, Joan Mir, Valentino Rossi, Aleix Espargaró and Francesco Bagnaia, because Franco Morbidelli was obviously late.
Everyone waited for many minutes in silence, before Valentino Rossi take his phone and call his pilot (or pretend to call him, we don't know). Bursts of laughter in the room, prolonged by the Doctor's quietly humorous comments...
« Oh that, he knows how to ride a motorbike, but for the rest… The other day, he asked me “where is the next race?” ". In Misano, Franco, in Misano! »
After a few minutes, the Petronas pilot arrived, apologized, and things were able to return to normal in a good mood…
There's always that one friend who is fashionably late! 😂
With @FrankyMorbido12 last to arrive at the press conference, @ValeYellow46 made a quick call! 📞#EmiliaRomagnaGP 🏁 pic.twitter.com/AKqKKDkseE
