What a Valentino Rossi story!

What a story Valentino Rossi, emperor of the two wheels, symbol of Italy, capable in deeds and follies and always ready to joke: «Today was so good that I even thought of not racing the last two. There was a great atmosphere, thanks to everyone for the cheering all these years. We have many strong riders in MotoGP, I invite you to continue following the races because they deserve it ».

A day in yellow, a party also made up of tears, but still a party because the Doctor knew how to organize amazing celebrations as a kid and did not lose his hand. They were all a Misano to greet Valentino Rossi. There were his families: the home one, with Francesca Sofia Novello waiting for their child, that of friends, Cesare Cremonini in the garage, that of the world championship, that of the fans, 35 thousand in the stands. All in yellow, its color. The lap of honor, the helmet thrown into the stands, the hugs, the bows. All in Valentino style, even the serious moment of the award ceremony with Luigi di Maio and Valentina Vezzali.

The billboards have been saying it for weeks: What a story. And history was with coincidences which are the heart of a great tale. Valentino Rossi raced his last Italian Grand Prix. He did it in his home, in Misano, the circuit he knew as a child and which bears the name of Marco Simoncelli, the one who was supposed to be his heir and who died on the track exactly ten years ago.

Coincidences can also be perfidious. The least loved opponent won this race, Marc Marquez, the world championship went to Fabio Quartararo, with what was his Yamaha. Cases that do not veil the feast of Valentino who brings with him his heir brother, Luca Marini, born at the time of the first of his nine titles and now embraced in a symbolic and real passage of the baton.

The doctor finished tenth like that world championship he chased to the end, even when others told him to stop, even in the years of fatigue, the last ones, without joys on the track, but with the desire of always, the hunger and the class of the past.

The “Thanks ValeWhich stands out everywhere from the liveries of the Sky Racing Team VR46, to the racing suit he has grown up, is a tribute to the “mayor” of this community who travels the world on two wheels. Valentino da Tavullia has been here for 26 years with 115 victories. It’s hard to imagine the world championship without him, the hope is that those glories will live in the riders he grows up in his Academy. “It won’t be Sunday anymore,” they say in the stands. And a little bit is true.
