Valentino Rossi will compete in his 432nd and final Grand Prix this weekend in Valencia and, as a result, fans have indulged in some guesses on social networks: Why not let the nine-time world champion pass so that he gets at the last minute this coveted 200th podium?
The question was asked Thursday evening at a press conference to the drivers present, and if almost everyone indicated, correctly, that this was not concretely possible, Jack Miller stood out from the crowd, with his usual humor…
Jack Miller : " Well, he has a lot of money, so if he wants to talk… I'm a businessman, I'm open (laughs)! I don't think he wants that but I'm always open to negotiation. »
Friday evening, during his daily debriefing, the Australian's appeal was therefore transmitted to the Italian star who responded in the same vein...
Valentino Rossi: “I think it's unfortunately impossible, but if they gave me a place on the podium I would be very happy because it would be the 200th podium, which would be so important. And I can pay them, too, a little! (Laughs) Or maybe we could have a catwalk party together, and I'd pay for it all! (Laughs) But I don't think that will happen. »
