"My objective will be to work well, to learn and to place myself as close as possible to the first places: I hope that this will allow me to become a better pilot", ambitions the young man of 15 years, champion of Italy in MiniGP 80 in 2011.

Lucid and thoughtful (like his illustrious brother), the n ° 97 is keen to cut his teeth in Italy before thinking of diving into the "deep end" of the world championship: "if I won the title (in the Italian Moto3 championship , Editor’s note) it would be easier to go to the world championship, in terms of sponsors and team. But first you have to win… ", recognizes the son of Stefania Palma, mother of Valentino Rossi (on the left in the photo below, alongside his two sons during the).

After their divorce in 1990, the parents of "Vale" each had a child with whom n ° 46 grew up: Luca, Stefania’s son, and Clara, Graziano’s daughter.
