The end of Valentino Rossi's career will perhaps not be marked by a final Grand Prix exploit, but it is already asserting itself as time passes towards the inevitable like a delicious human adventure punctuated by reconciliations. The Doctor thus marked the occasion at Silverstone with Romano Fenati, which is no small thing if we want to remember their shared history…
Roman Fenati was the academy's first hope VR46 and also his first failure. Not sporty, because the turbulent transalpine is a talent. To be convinced of this, it is enough to notice what he does in Moto3 since he put the wheels on his Husqvarna on the Silverstone route. A route which gives pride of place to driving. And fenati is untouchable.
fenati was supported by the academy Rossi from 2014 to 2016 with good prospects before Romano's dark side took over. Following one too many internal incidents, he was fired and Rossi had words at that moment that spoke volumes about his disappointment. But which in no way exuded resentment: “ we have relied heavily on him in the past, but we didn't know how to manage it. It was a defeat ».
The period which followed for fenati freewheeling almost ruined his career. The highlight being the grip of the brake lever manzi in the middle of a race. Which had earned him banishment from the motorcycle world fenati who was finally caught up to rebuild himself. He has since been a pilot of… Max Biaggi.
Fenati: “ Rossi and Biaggi certainly love each other a lot«
Valentino Rossi hugged him at Silverstone with his sympathetic words: “ my secret is that I received advice from Fenati, the king of Silverstone! » he commented on this occasion on his eighth place in qualifying. Moved, Fenati replied: “ work is one thing, the human side is another. There have never been any problems with Vale. The hug ? I was very happy, but I never had anything against his team, I'm happy to have seen it in the top 10 today ", says Romano.
And on his passage through the box biaggi, he adds on Sky : " in fact, I was a little hesitant, I wondered if it was the right choice... Between Max and Rossi, there is competition, and maybe they face each other on the track, but they definitely like it a lot ". Nice.
