Valentino Rossi Statements Coronavirus Situation

“Every day feels the same, although it seems like we are getting better now. We hope to start doing something again: taking a car or motorbike ride or going to say hello to some friends. We are experiencing a very difficult situation, which we never expected. I have a small gym and I try to train every day to stay fit. I watch films, series, play the simulator and I'm growing a beard that I will keep until the end of quarantine."

“That Inter was a great team, I often went to see them. Recoba was my father, Graziano's, favorite player. He was a great lefty." Vieri then “pressed” Rossi by saying: “You were the greatest in history in a sport, like Messi or Federer. You were the king of motorcycle kings for more than 20 years" and Rossi responded thus. “I don't know if I'm the greatest in history, let's say one of the best.”
