[moto] Dorna Sports Not Worried About the Decrease in Audience Due to Rossi Retirement

[luminox™-]

This season, Rossi is no longer racing because of retirement. However, Dorna Sports is not worried that the MotoGP audience will decrease. It cannot be denied that Valentino Rossi's fans are very numerous and spread in many countries. However, many of them really like watching MotoGP. Many hope that Rossi will return to MotoGP, be it a wildcard or team manager for the VR46 Racing Team. However, Rossi himself is busy with four-wheel racing.

 

 

Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta said he always chose to see Rossi because he was a friend. Ezpeleta is also very grateful for what Rossi has done for MotoGP. "He will come to some races, but I know his job is to continue competing. He will continue with the car. I understand it very well," said Ezpeleta, quoted from GPone.com, Wednesday (23/2/2022). Ezpeleta added, VR46 Racing Team is in good hands. This team belongs to Rossi.This season is the first time that VR46 Racing Team will fully step down as a satellite team with two drivers, namely Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi. This team had problems with the main sponsor. Initially, it was predicted that Aramco would fully support it. However, the agreement did not come and Mooney entered at the last moment. "It doesn't bother me. I keep in touch with them, and I know that Valentino's team will be there (in MotoGP), after all," said Ezpeleta.

 

 

Regarding the declining MotoGP audience due to Rossi's retirement, Ezpeleta also admitted that he was not worried and was sure that there would still be many who participated in the most prestigious motorcycle racing event in the world. "I suspect people will still come and support all the Italian riders who are Valentino's children," said Ezpeleta.
