Update 26/10: Valentino Himself

"We were together almost every day, because we trained together at the gym. Then we would go for laps with all these bikes… These are my fondest memories," Rossi told reporters in his arrival in Rome yesterday morning. With puffy eyes but a smile still on his lips, the nine-time world champion cut short any rumor of withdrawal in front of the camera of our colleagues at RTL Sport: "No, no … I don’t know who said that, but it wasn’t ‘It’s not me. It was probably a piece of news to sell newspapers "…

Sadly, even such a tragedy is not enough to stop the current feeding the stream of rumors and allegations.

"For those who ask, Vale is absolutely not thinking of stopping … I am sorry that this false information is circulating at such times," writes Uccio while Davide Brivio, who has followed Valentino at Ducati, holds the same speech: "many of you are asking if Vale is stopping the race. It is absolutely not true and I am even sorry to have to explain it".
