Rossi isn't finished yet, but ...
Jakarta - Carlo Pernat, the main observer of MotoGP, said Valentino Rossi no longer wants to take risks in the race. In this way, it will be difficult to win Rossi again.
Monster Energy Rider from Yamaha is still looking for its first win in more than two years. The last time Rossi won the highest podium was when he won the 2017 Dutch MotoGP.
With his 40th age and lack of M1 engine performance, Rossi has only scored eight times in the top three since his success at Assen. In 2019, Rossi only had two podium finishes, which he had achieved in the first three races. After that, Rossi retired three times and was stuck in fourth position, which was obtained in Austria and England.
Pernat is the man who catapulted Rossi's career in motorsport. The man who had directed Andrea Iannone thought that Rossi was not finished, even if the results obtained would not be optimal.
"I don't think he's done yet, I see him as a 25-year-old man with wrists and a young man at the age of 25," Pernat told GPOne. "But the fact is, his mind is like a 40-year-old man, which means he takes fewer risks and his wrist feels it."
"I always see him approaching the podium, his position between three and six, and he knows that too, and recently I think he doubts himself, he is able to do great training even if he is unable to reach his target in many races because of that not easy. "
"However, Rossi must stay afloat because people need to see him and support him, but they must also understand that he is now a runner who can only fight for third to sixth positions," Pernat noted.
The next MotoGP race will take place in Misano, San Marino. There, Rossi challenged Honda's dominance over his triumph three times over the past four seasons.
"Maybe there will be a strange situation like Misano, where he can get on the podium - after all, he's a living legend and he knows everything about it," Pernat added.
