The history of Valentino Rossi can never be erased and, as often happens for the timeless greats of football, the his number 46 will be picked up at Mugello, his home. Something that recalls what happened in Naples with the number 10, which belonged to Diego Armando Maradona and has never been worn since. A name very dear to the Doctor, who wore his albiceleste shirt on the podium in the past.
Mugello withdraws Valentino Rossi's 46
The Italian GP will be held from 27 to 29 May, or the World Championship arrives at Mugello. On Saturday there will also be Valentino Rossi in the paddock, this time not to get out on the track and race with the others. Shortly before qualifying, Dorna will retire its now legendary number 46. A dutiful gesture for those who have written indelible pages in the history of this sport, helping them not a little to reach modern peaks.
The ceremony will take place on the finish straight of the track. A gesture that celebrates his legacy and a career spanning 26 years and full of successes, including 9 world titles. The legendary rider from Tavullia has already been included in the MotoGP Legends Hall of Fame in Valencia, and how could it be otherwise. Nobody will be able to choose that number anymore, if someone wanted to dare. 46 remains with the Doctor and retires with him. Saturday May 28th is a date to mark on the calendar for all fans of the world championship and sport in general. This ceremony promises great emotions.
