Rossi’s Reason for Choosing ‘Embarrassing Himself’ in MotoGP

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia

ahead of MotoGP Aragon 2021, Sunday (12/9), Valentino Rossi reveal the reasons for reluctance to retire from MotoGP at the peak of his career and prefer to ’embarrass himself’.

Rossi has decided to retire after MotoGP 2021. The Doctor retired after being unable to compete competitively this season.

The decision to retire came after many criticized Rossi’s choice to continue to appear in MotoGP even though it was considered exhausted. Rossi is claimed to be late in retiring from MotoGP.

Rossi admitted that he would rather postpone his retirement and slump in MotoGP, rather than retire at the peak of his career. The 42-year-old racer didn’t want to think about what might happen if he continued to race.

“I tried to resist [pensiun] until the end. I don’t want to retire at the peak of my career because I don’t want to have any regrets. That’s why I’m very happy and calm, because I’ve given my best,” said Rossi quoted from Tuttomotoriweb.

“I learned from my father that we shouldn’t take sport and results too seriously. Because it doesn’t make a difference, it’s not important to get better or faster results. The important thing is to work hard and enjoy the journey. I think that’s the secret of a long career. me,” said Rossi.


Rossi had several times been rumored to be retiring. The rumor first appeared in 2006, after winning five MotoGP world titles. At that time Rossi was reportedly interested in joining Ferrari in F1.

Rossi also ensures that MotoGP will not lose prestige after The Doctor retires. The Italian racer is sure that MotoGP will remain busy because it has many talented young drivers.

“MotoGP existed before Valentino Rossi, and MotoGP will continue without me. The level of riders continues to increase, so you have to practice a lot, and when you are old, you will enjoy less if you practice more,” said Rossi.

Rossi did not completely leave MotoGP. Through the Aramco VR46 team, Rossi will manage the MotoGP team starting the 2022 season. Rossi has teams in the Moto3 and Moto2 classes.
