The relationship between legends Doctor Costa and Valentino Rossi has not always been idyllic, but sportsmanship and affection have ultimately prevailed. With this spirit, the doctor – a guardian angel to so many riders over the years – wanted to bid farewell to the nine-time world champion (already a MotoGP Legend), whose long and glorious career came to an end on Sunday.

Rossi celebrated by one and all


On social media, Doctor Costa wrote: “An extraordinary thing occurred at Valencia – a motorcycle race, a win for Ducati, everyone bowing to a great champion, Valentino Rossi who is now transformed from phenomenal rider into Eternal Legend. The excitement of the race paled in comparison to the emotions evoked by images of Vale’s epic feats, the embraces he shared with other riders a symbol of a legacy that will be hard to follow”. Extremely hard, in that no one can ever take his place. “Emotion articulated through Guido Meda’s cries”, continued the Doctor, “a whirl of emotions that assaulted the soul. Wonderful to see the compliments from so many champions, so many, all of them”.

And he focuses on one aspect in particular: “But the most beautiful and unforgettable thing were the tears shed by Vale’s girlfriend. Tears! Today at Valencia, in witnessing her father’s triumph, the tiny creature nestled in the womb realises with incredible surprise that Humans can also cry with Joy”.
