Misano is preparing to say goodbye Valentino Rossi, who next Sunday will play the last race in Italy of his long career. To do this, the fan club has already announced that it will crowd the stands of the track named after Marco Simoncelli with 11,000 borsalinos to give him the ‘hats off’ for what he has done on the track. And so also the official poster of the event bears the words “what a story…“, With the image of Valentino in the foreground. In short, it will be an exciting weekend for the nine-time world champion and his fans, although the present is not as glorious as the bright past.
In fact, Rossi does not want to be under any illusions, given that not later than a month ago on the same track he qualified 23rd and reached the finish line 17th, 33 seconds away from the winner ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia: “It was nice to have these two weeks without competitions, because we have had very demanding trips like the one in the United States. THEn this period I have been training hard at home to make sure I can face these last three races in the best possible physical condition. This second race at Misano will be tougher than the first, because it is very likely that it will be cooler than a month ago“. The ‘Doctor’ hopes to be able to return to the points: “We must work to give our best, try to be a bit faster than in the last few races and fine-tune the set-up to be more competitive. The Misano 1 race was a really exciting moment for me and of course it will be a special home race. I hope the Italian fans can enjoy it “.
Alongside Rossi will be there again Andrea Dovizioso, who made his debut in the Yamaha Petronas team a month ago at Misano, qualifying 24th and finishing 21st and last, 42 seconds behind the winner: “I think it will be very difficult to be competitive enough to get into the top 10, but the improvements we have made since the first race in Misano are enormous. This weekend will be a good opportunity to compare the bike and understand where we are now compared to a month ago on the same track, even if the conditions may be different. This will help me be faster. I can’t wait to be more competitive and be able to fight with the other riders “.
