In the world of sport, there are titles to be won on the field in each category, but there are also rewards to be won as part of a Laureus event which is played in ceremonial dress. A recognition which is a sort of Oscar given to the athlete and a gathering full of rhinestones and sequins which offers a moment of celebrity exposure to nominees in different categories. And this year, Valentino Rossi is in the game.
This isn't the first time the Doctor has been to this event. Many times, it has been in the sportsman of the year category, also in that of sportsmanship and in that of the return to highlight in the season. In this case, it was in 2011 and he returned to this area in 2018.
It was in fact his return 25 days after breaking his leg in training which deprived him of the meeting in Misano which allows him to be in the race for the trophy. Vale had been to the Aragon Grand Prix after a quick recovery. He finished fifth in the meeting. It should be noted that the Yamaha rider is in competition with FC Barcelona, which owes its selection to its comeback against Paris Saint Germain during the Football Champions League... Verdict, February 27 in Monaco!
