Valentino Rossi: “I'm afraid of quitting, my life is MotoGP”Valentino Rossi: “I'm afraid of quitting, my life is MotoGP”

Valentino Rossi MotoGP – Valentino Rossi in an interview given to SpeedWeek.com spoke about the near future (which will still see him riding the Yamaha M1 of Team Movistar) and the one a little further away, which should see the Pesaro native give up his role as a rider to “wear” those of the Team Manager or other figure linked to the world of motorbikes. The word is up to him.

“I'm afraid to stop, it scares me. It will be difficult to find something else, it's true that there is the Academy, but MotoGP is something else."

Rossi then talked about objectives: “The first objective is to win the world championship, then win races and achieve podiums.”

Speaking about the season just ended and the problems of the M1 he said: “We had difficult races like Jerez, Barcelona, ​​Austria and Motegi. Our problem was simply the wear of the tires on the rear wheel, trying to solve the problems of 2016, we created new difficulties.”

Finally, he added on the possibility of having a team in MotoGP: “It would be interesting to have a Team in MotoGP, now we are helping young riders, something that started casually with Simoncelli. Then Morbidelli (2017 Moto2 world champion and in the photo with Rossi), my brother and Migno arrived, so the Academy was founded.”

    Fatman, for years I have noticed with annoyance your laughable comments at the bottom of any article regarding Valentino Rossi. By now I have learned to avoid them, as well as those of a couple of your emulators, whom I won't name. Now, it is clear that your existence is undermined by serious behavioral disorders: no sane person feverishly and with such assiduous consistency checks a website to be the first to comment with crude foul language on news relating to a public figure. A character who, evidently, obsessively polarizes your attention. From the squalid prose you display, several sad facts can easily be deduced: you certainly do not have culture (too many syntactic and grammatical errors; the ability to structure coherent sentences is almost non-existent), nor a balanced personality (you are literally obsessed with the international fame of a successful character), nor of a social status that satisfies you (so much bitterness and envy imply the perception of an existential squalor which you cannot escape). Even Valentino Rossi's rancorous attacks on sexuality suggest that you are probably the one who doesn't get along with your sexuality (among other things, remember that being homosexual is not a crime, if anything, a fact of nature. If you really are gay, come out and finally live peacefully). You always reiterate the same theories, you insult Rossi and anyone who doesn't think like you, you practice exhausting copy and paste to draw up lines and lines of "haha", revealing narrow-mindedness, boorish rudeness, inability to dialogue, total contempt for common sense and... lack of fantasy (insulting is an art, you know? Miserable scoundrel who doesn't have an ounce of wit, nor as many letters as it takes to write the word idiot! Ultimately, the ridiculous hatred that you persist in showing week after week, year after year, only makes it clear to those who read you the total failure of your being, the pettiness of your ego. You are a small person, pink with envy and a sense of frustration, who hurls his hatred, his smallness, his impotence at a famous person and at those who appreciate him. Ultimately, each of your posts is one more brick that assembles the monument dedicated to your failure as an individual. Well, I'm sure that these lines won't change you one millimeter, but know that I, like many other readers, see only one reality behind your ridiculous nonsense: you are a miserable failure, a wretch who should do something to help himself. Starting with your nickname: Fat Man was the nickname given to the second atomic bomb, the one that exploded over Nagasaki. Only a clueless idiot would use such a sad pseudonym, unless, in addition to being pervaded by a disarming moral weakness, you are also a poor obese person. And not just in the skull. And now, please, start with the copy and paste, poor little thing. Or, get help and start a rigorous analysis program with a good specialist. You could save yourself.

    Dear pertinax
    one day on this blog, a user who responded to the nickname Helix, expressed with education and grace a concept similar to yours (I'll address you firsthand, I hope you don't get offended) towards a parasite of virtual society, and not only ..one of those cowards called trolls, who in response insulted him heavily by stating, among other things, that he...was me!!
    If, as you claim, you've been reading fatman for years, (couldn't his Nick simply mean...fat man??) it means that you too dedicate time to the blog, so you can't help but have read this ignorant man's attacks aimed at me and to the Helix user.
    Now, if we were all brainless like the troll in question, you would now be accused of being a "multilink" which in the language of the coward hidden behind the keyboard means that you usually change links to connect with multiple names, and consequently you would be insulted.
    Luckily not everyone is miserable like him, so it is assumed that you expressed your opinion exactly like all civilized people do, but what escapes me about your intervention is...why fatman??
    Why not do, given that you have the skills, a detailed analysis of the profile of an individual as “mariaccionen” or whatever the hell he calls himself!
    I'm interested in the point of view of someone who demonstrates a great capacity for analysis, perhaps a cure can still be found for the unfortunate person... in this way you would also demonstrate absolute partiality in your judgements.
    You may not agree on what someone writes and how he expresses his thoughts, but it seems strange to me how the worst element that has been infesting this blog like a gas for a long time... too long could have escaped your lucid analysis!

      VDS. you must understand that for them the "evil" is or lies only in the antisporcoditavullia and on the other hand the prosporcoditavullia being the "good" can say and do what they want because they are always right and right (obviously in their limited mind).
      Hahaha, are you trying to make that race of yellow-clouded people (including mentally impaired people like supermarimorons) understand the reason?
      Then forget it, you're just wasting time.

      1. TONYKART said:

        perfect analysis, not even a psychologist could have explained it better!

    2. Pertinax II said:

      Dear VDS,
      in fact, I turned to Fatman because, reading this article, the first comment (if you can call it that) that I noticed was his. As I remarked, I had no intention of naming other characters who are equal to him, on both sides, so as not to provide them with an easy pretext for further low-level utterances. Usually I don't have much time to dedicate to leisure and I very rarely intervene by writing an opinion on the web. On this specific occasion, everything was due to a powerful cold which gave me much more time than usual for idleness and the desire for a salacious comment (the illness also explains the reason why I noticed your post and I have the opportunity to answer you). I know who you are referring to and I admit that his style is also completely similar to that of Fatman: only the squalor in the use of adjectives changes, despite being on opposite positions in terms of "fans". To be honest, I don't remember the dispute between you and Helix and another user, but it doesn't surprise me that much. The cowards, since the world began, are all the same and their words reflect the smallness of their being. What fascinates me is noticing how the passion for a sport for many turns into a priori, vulgar fandom, becoming a pretext for verbal assault, insult and gratuitous vulgarity, covered moreover by the cowardly comfort of anonymity. I doubt that such people would let out their breath in a public forum or that they would be able to sign their (low) opinions. I know, well, that this has now become a widespread practice in our exhausted society - just look at the squalor that surrounds the world of football and stadium fans - however two other issues bother me more. One is that many (including myself, on this occasion) fall into the trap of responding to the provocations of such lowly characters; the other, that an editorial team like that of this blog does not practice any form of moderation for the sole purpose of fueling the diatribe and, consequently, the accesses. Finally, I can understand but I will never justify the mental process that leads some depraved minds to transform the passion for a sport, a team, a public figure into a fan base, precisely, devoid of any moral virtue. Personally, I confess, I have always looked with admiration at Rossi's sporting exploits since the days when he competed in the 125 class, but it never occurred to me to insult, for example, Max Biaggi. In fact, I was rather worried about him following his recent, serious accident. And you don't know what a thrill it was for me to meet Capirossi in person and to be able to spend an evening in the company of an authentic gentleman, who even at the time gave a bad rap and not just once to my favorite number 46. The reason perhaps lies in the fact that I am at peace with myself and I do not need to vent frustrations and resentments of various kinds on others. Or perhaps it lies in the fact that I have always played a sport that taught me a form of absolute respect for my opponent. Whatever the case, I hope I answered your question. I conclude by reminding you that, in any case, the responsibility for the decline lies with all of us: if we never, and I mean never, fall into the trap of responding to the provocations of poor wretches like Fatman, "mariaccionen" or whatever the hell he calls himself ( quoting your words) and unhappy company, in the long run they would get tired of empty insults. And they would remain desolately alone in the silence of their abysmal littleness.
      Ps I was not aware of the term “multinick”, nor of its role. Thanks, I learned something new.

        @pertinax
        I understand your thoughts, I too have been lucky enough to do a sport where you learn respect and discipline, it is a privilege which, even today when unfortunately so much time has passed, has left the values ​​of sport intact for me, this It's why I detest fanaticism in all its manifestations.
        I also agree on the fact that we should ignore the ignorant, I never respond directly to certain elements, but as you can see, the individual I described above just... doesn't get there, can't understand, and continues to respond by addressing to me first hand!

    Obviously that poor guy is afraid of quitting, it's the only place where there is a huge flock of faithful gobblers incapable of seeing and understanding with the limited little brain that considers him a god and where as a great sick megalomaniac he feeds on all the compliments and the boasts that are given to him, hahaha otherwise he won't give a damn about everything else and no one can stand him, even if on closer inspection no one can stand him there either apart from his licking fans and newsstands, hahaha!

  • max3isback said:

    Because this editorial team and site is clearly incapable of doing their job, it doesn't mean that you have to stress out reading the comments of the usual useless people (on both sides ;)… Just ignore, and move on :)

    As for Rossi, as far as he doesn't try to return to Ducati let him do what he wants lol… But he would be at the point and age where it would be nice if he was more sporty and retires… This year without him in the fight for the world championship (for how much perhaps the tenth would deserve) it was a sports show :)

      Hahaha comical that you agree with the moralizer and exclude yourself, but are you sure that you too are not part of the accused guys? Hahaha as if every intervention of yours were like a virgin, yes or no, between you and your friends the way you get excited at every criticism of your master god you are virgins like Cicciolina is, remember first answer in a polite way and you will get the same from me otherwise fott1t1 and take it home.

      1. nandop6 said:

        No, I don't feel like being part of this group because apart from fatman I don't know that I have insulted anyone, but fatman is a separate case even if I admit that I was wrong anyway given the element, but normally I respond in a manner directly proportional to the insults that are made to me I don't go first.

      2. H954RR said:

        No Nando I'm sorry but it's not like that, sometimes just talking about rude people makes you go wild even if YOU as a PERSON haven't been brought up, like most of you by the way, you're not the only one and I'm not talking of the moron par excellence of supermaridement that that is part of another category. Because I don't have the desire or the time otherwise I would do a search and copy/paste your rants against those who touched the faster-than-light god, sorry but maybe if you say that it's because sometimes you don't realize it and that's fine , but it's not as you say, no offense.
