Valentino Rossi is the highest representative of a colorful family. The adage that good blood cannot lie, the Doctor takes stock of a rather special Father Graziano. The one who was recently hospitalized for neurological problems and who hit a pedestrian while driving his car is affectionately presented by the prodigal son as an authentic enthusiast over whom age has no influence...
The illustrious retiree Valentino Rossi talks about his father Graziano, who always accompanied him in his sporting career. Graziano was a pilot in his time, and this influence obviously carried over to the son who was not yet “Il Dottore”. In a statement to speedweek , Valentino speaks of his father thus: “ Its very important, he was sort of an iconic person in my life. I ride a motorcycle because he was a racing driver. He didn't push me, but his influence on me was very great. I watched it and always wanted to ride it myself ».
The father-son relationship is thus summarized by the titled ninefold: “ All our communications focus primarily on motorcycles. He wasn't a very good father...I mean...When I was with him, for him, acting was always riding a motorcycle. He never went to the park with me and he never played football with me. When we spent time together, he would look at me and say, “What do we do now?” Ah, I made a little motorbike; Here we are !'”.
Valentino Rossi: “ one thing i learned from my father is not to take everything too seriously«
The father was among those who did not want Valentino to retire. “ He pushed a lot in that direction. But I told him: 'Damn, Graziano… now I'm 42 and I've been driving for 25 years'. And he replied: “No, we must not stop! What do you want to do when you stop?' Another thing I learned from him, which is very important to me, is not to take everything too seriously. It's always like that. I learned this from Graziano ».
Talent within the family, although with two brothers from different fathers, is a hot topic among Red with focus Luca marini : " on paper, it would be easier to say that it comes from Graziano. But Luca showed that the talent comes from my mother. And my mother isn't very normal either... Spending part of your life with Graziano is definitely not normal! When Luca started riding his motorcycle and showed good talent and speed, I said to Graziano: “so the talent comes from Stefania, not you!” He said, 'No, no.' ". Soon, Vale will be a father and Graziano a Grandfather of a daughter. What will be the continuation of this saga?
