There are four Grands Prix remaining, including this weekend's Austin, before Valentino Rossi hangs up his helmet and puts on his racing suit. 26 years of history will end at the same time and this moment, which is not insignificant in view of the Doctor's overall work, will take place in Valencia. If Fabio Quartararo has the delicacy to close the championship debates in Portimao, at the latest, as he wishes, it will be the major moment of the final meeting of this campaign. So why not mark the occasion with a special livery on the Yamaha?
At least that is the idea presented here and which would perhaps leave Valentino Rossi a less bitter memory of the Valencia route. We will indeed recall that this circuit named after Ricardo Tormo has never been a great ally of the Doctor, who in his career lost two world titles by only 5 points: in 2006, by falling at the start of the race, and by 2015, when after starting from the back of the grid for reasons we know, he finished in an insufficient fourth place.
With these two facts alone, we have an overview of the immense career of the man from Tavullia. But the latter who will become a father will still be very involved in the paddock. First, he is still the boss of a great business selling derivative products and then his colors VR46 which he has managed to grow will be seen in no less than four stables in 2022.
Valentino Rossi will be involved in four teams in 2022
One will be Moto3 with Avintia and Antonelli, two will be in Moto2 with the Saudis of Aramco, and no longer with the Italians of Sky, but also with the Yamaha coat of arms to make people talk about the brand's pilot sector... Which owes a lot to the Yamaha academy Rossi. And then there will be the team MotoGP with two Ducatis, including one for Marini, the other being promised to Bezzecchi. The yellow will therefore still be visible! But in any case, we can be sure that in Valencia, we will have this type of images...
