He was already the luckiest and happiest of Valentino Rossi fans, now he is fulfilled! When he went to Misano for the Doctor's last Grand Prix in Italy, Michele Quirini obviously had no idea that he was going to catch the specially decorated helmet thrown into the crowd by his idol. But once he returned home to Fabriano, a nagging question remained unanswered: “ Was Vale going to keep his gesture promise to sign the headgear for him later? ».
Thing promised, thing due, and Valentino Rossi kept his promise. Better, he invited his worshiper to the race of 100 km of Champions which was held last weekend in Tavullia.
Emanuele Pieroni, for Moto.it, gathered the details over the phone after learning of the fan's special presence at MotoRanch.
Michele Quirini: « Yes, yes, Valentino Rossi kept his promise and I had no doubts about it. After a few days of being overwhelmed by an unexpected outcry and really realizing how lucky I was, I contacted the fan club to see if and what I should do. TO DO. They were very kind and said they would contact me soon. In recent weeks, I received an invitation to the 100 km of champions. It didn't seem real, but it was. It was a crazy experience. I laughed like crazy, because there is an atmosphere of incredible authenticity. Friends who played, even if they played seriously, and without sparing themselves. Magnificent, I don't know if I can describe what the Ranch really is and, above all, what the 100 km of Champions really are.
Helmet ? Yes, obviously Vale kept his promise and now it has his signature on it. Now I want to find a way to share it with other fans, to somehow redistribute the luck I had that day in Misano. I was making a movie with my cell phone, and I would have thought of anything except that this headset was literally going to fall into my hands. A lot of people ask me if I'm going to sell it or if I've had it appraised, but in either case the answer is no: I'm not even thinking about selling it and I don't bother getting it appraised, because some items have value that goes far beyond money. The only thing I would like to do is share it. »
