Valentino Rossi experienced the charm of the next world, fueled by a health psychosis adding to the anxiety of an environment where an invisible coronavirus lurks, causing as much damage to the individual as to the collective. A situation where nothing seems clear. Judge for yourself: last week, Vale arrived only on Saturday for the European Grand Prix after coming out of a quarantine imposed by a COVID-19 infection. A bad memory? No, it all started again this Thursday...

Valentino Rossi will not classify this Thursday eve of the second Grand Prix in Valencia as one of his best memories. He was first alerted by a positive coronavirus test, before being informed that nothing was ultimately clear, which required another test which turned out to be more favorable. It was therefore necessary to act beautiful and the Doctor was finally declared fit.

A match which he would have done well without and which he commented on: “ I'm happy to be here, it will finally be a regular weekend. I didn't have a real positive sample, it wasn't clear, but the doctor reassured me. He told me, you will see that you will be negative, but it's a bit like going back into a tunnel, into a nightmare. I feel good, I'm here, I saw my bike, my team and I can't wait to get out on the track ».

Solidarity and understanding with Dovizioso

Meanwhile, the prospect of having a new test pilot at Yamaha came to light. To the great dismay of Jorge Lorenzo. Vale assessed the new situation as follows: “ with Cal Crutchlow I have a good relationship and I am happy if he comes to Yamaha as a tester. He's a fast driver, just like Dovizioso would have been ».

Precisely, he ends his remarks on Dovizioso: " these are very personal things, Dovi is a big motorbike enthusiast, you go to Faenza and he is there to have a barbecue with friends and do motocross. In my opinion, he could have a sabbatical and next year he will understand if he misses MotoGP, or if he can live well without ».
