Valentino Rossi, very, very, very attached to his business, had taken advantage yesterday de the exhibition of his motorcycles and his press conference for ask Alberto Puig for the Honda 500cc with which he won the 2001 title, and which, according to the Italian driver, Honda had promised him.
Valentino Rossi : " J'I spoke with Alberto (Puig) and I asked for at least a 500cc, because this 500cc is my 500cc, the bike that Honda was supposed to give me! »
The question was therefore asked today to the person concerned during the manufacturers' press conference, but his answer leaves little hope of seeing the yellow NSR 500 join Tavullia...
Alberto puig: “It's a delicate story, so I can't answer you, but normally this bike is also very important to us and we put it in the museum. Honda is very proud of all the titles won, including the title that Valentino won for us all together. So I'm sure we want to have this as a very important trophy in our house to show our fans that we were able to win the title with this bike. »
