Valentino Rossi committed to Monza?

If he is one of the greatest legends of MotoGP, Valentino Rossi has never hidden his love for motorsport. The Doctor, as he is nicknamed, tried his hand at F1 but it is above all the rally who holds an important place in his heart. He has already taken part in the Great Britain and New Zealand rallies and this year he could get back behind the wheel.

While the last meeting of the 2020 season of WRC is scheduled for Monza next December (4-6), Valentino Rossi would not be inclined to take a dip there. “ I know Monza and a lot of people have already called me.

The plan was not to race at Monza since I wanted to do Abu Dhabi like last year. Of course, the situation has changed and doing the last round of the world championship makes this prospect much more interesting. Now I have to see what happens ».

Valentino Rossi knows the Monza Rally Show very well since he has won there seven times. His last victory there dates back to 2018 at the wheel of a Ford Fiesta WRC. A Ford Fiesta WRC that he could find next December.

« We have been working with Valentino for several years, recognized Richard Millener, director of the team M-Sport Ford World Rally Team, ready to welcome Valentino Rossi at Monza at the end of the season. This would be great to see engagement from such a name. I think Monza will bring a really interesting opportunity to the WRC as it has in the past.”

You will still have to keep an eye on Hyundai since Andrea Adamo, director of the South Korean team, did not hide his desire to hire a “ star driver ". The Doctor is wanted.
