We hope – and the whole of MotoGP with us – that it will be as late as possible, but each time a little more, the subject becomes necessary. Normal since it is about retirement, a perspective which, by nature, becomes clearer as time passes. But when Valentino Rossi will hang up leather and helmet, the impact will be other than the departure of Nico Rosberg of Formula 1. Fortunately, the list of things to do before taking advantage of the pension is growing at the Doctor.

In fact, the busier he is, the less he will want to leave. At least that's what we can hope for. A priori, we have peace of mind for the next two years thanks to his Yamaha contract. On the Formula 1 side, those responsible for the team Mercedes did not call him to take him away from us and put him on the side of Lewis Hamilton. A joke at first, but you always have to be on your guard...

Still, it's behind a wheel that Vale will want to have some fun one last time. He's already rallying, he said he was thinking about Dakar Rally and now he confirms his passion for the 24h00 events. Le Mans is in the line of fire, but not only: the Nurburgring is also in the viewfinder just like Spa Francorchamps. A route described as superb by the man from Tavullia who even speaks of certainty as to a visit as a competitor one day or another.
