Valentino Rossi arrives in Valencia after a first negative Covid-19 test

Will the No. 46 Yamaha finally find its owner this weekend at the Teruel GP in Valencia (Spain)? Valentino Rossi strongly hopes so after being tested negative for the coronavirus: the Doctor must be examined again this Friday to resume the track… Explanations.

Valentino Rossi, dejected by his three consecutive falls after the GP of France, suffers another setback: this Covid-19 dirt that the Doctor contracted despite the strict protocol set up in the MotoGP paddock!

• MNC of November 2, 2020 :

Relegated to a sad 15th place in the provisional, Rossi is officially out of the race for the 2020 world title which is now played between the top six drivers in the standings (see). Remember that Mallorcan Joan Mir leads the dance on his Suzuki GSX-RR, .

Resigned, Valentino Rossi would however like to finish his last season on the official M1 behind his handlebars rather than on his sofa: the n ° 46 continues to express his impatience on social networks, where he has indicated that he is still positive for the coronavirus in start of the week although he feels perfectly fit.

But the situation is improving for the fastest 40-year-old in the world who tested negative yesterday Thursday, which allows him to go to the Valencia circuit where a second PCR test will be carried out 24 hours apart to validate his back on track ! 

Rossi is currently awaiting the results of this second test, which should arrive "today". In the meantime, his M1 is not entrusted to Jorge Lorenzo – sidelined after the Portimao tests ended at 3 seconds! – but to Garret Gerloff, revelation of last season in WSBK on a Yamaha R1.

The young American will discover MotoGP on the soggy asphalt of Valencia – yes, it is raining in Spain! – during free practice 1, while the Doctor will resume riding this afternoon for free practice 2 if his second test is also negative. To follow obviously closely on MNC: stay connected !
