Valentino Rossi was made aware of Marco Lucchinelli's comments on his subject and his form of obstinacy, according to the former 500 world champion, to continue his career. A fruitless relentlessness which would only take away a good motorcycle from a young rider. The Doctor obviously did not appreciate it and he responded in a tone which leaves no doubt about his future relations with his detractor, whom he knows well...
Valentino Rossi does it make the pleasure last too long? Isn't this the season too many? Marco Lucchinelli raised these questions Doha Grand Prix and reading the last Qatar Grand Prix. And the Italian veteran answers in the affirmative. With a certain virulence what’s more. An outing which raised awareness of the Doctor who therefore came up with an answer… “ I'm sorry that Marco Lucchinelli said that, because he was a great friend of Graziano my father, we were very friends » says the Petronas Yamaha rider to Paolo Ianieri of 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'.
Rossi: “Every time he sees me, he licks my ass…”
« And every time I see him he's super nice to me, I'd like to say he licks me... But maybe that's a bad way to say it. I don't know, at some point Lucchinelli always started talking bad about me, but I didn't really understand why ».
There is anger, but above all sadness in the words of Valentino Rossi, who generally does not publicly respond to criticism. But when asked about the subject, he doesn’t hold back. And he hopes to behave differently when he gets older. “ But in the end, everyone can have their say, although of course I'm sorry. What matters are the results. If I can go fast, everyone will jump back into the winner's car, if I don't, they'll keep saying I must have stopped a few years ago. However, I only hope for one thing, and I have said it several times to Albi and Uccio: that when I am old I will not become like them "...
