Valentino Rossi not only contracted Covid-19, but far from being asymptomatic like the other members of the paddock in the same case, the Italian champion has had to deal with the illness since his period of solitary confinement officially announced on October 15.

As he himself explained, the Doctor was very ill and had to stay in bed.

However, after a week of rest, the motorcycling icon is feeling better and is starting to reconnect with his troops.

This is what Pablo Nieto, the team manager of the SKY VR 46 team, told the Spanish site As.com : “He’s locked up at home. Last week he was physically worse so he spent more time in bed and resting. But now that he's starting to feel well and can't do anything, it's a little harder for him to be at home, and he's waging war on us, but a positive war. What he's really doing is asking. I tell him how the situation is and he says, “Understood. Everything is clear ". He asks a little about everything, about the progress of the tests, about the tire strategy put in place, which ones we are going to use... He is aware of everything. »

Valentino Rossi is doing much better and that’s excellent news!

At Sky's microphone, Massimo Meregalli is also considering returning for the next race in Valencia, in 10 days: “The good news is that Vale is feeling better. He no longer shows symptoms of Covid-19 and we hope that the results of Monday's test will be negative so that we can find him for the races in Valencia. »
