He will of course be accompanied by a VR46 delegation, including Alberto Tebaldi. Vale’s long-time companion and CEO of the Rossi company told the newspaper “Il Resto del Carlino” in advance:
“It’s a very nice thing that both Vale and we as a company have gladly agreed to.” The giant replica will be placed near the beach on “Piazzale D’Annunizio”.
Already on the day of his retirement, Rossi was inducted into the MotoGP Hall of Fame. In addition, his number 46 was withdrawn from all MotoGP competitions.
