“It’s difficult to see Valentino now. He has never been left behind this far in his career,” said the racer from the United States quoting Motosan, Saturday (10/7/2021).
“Even in its early years in the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc categories it never ended so far behind,” he added.
Kevin Schwantz gives advice to Rossi who is now strengthening the Yamaha Petronas SRT team. He said, if Rossi is still happy to race, please continue. It’s just that, if you always come out in the back position, it is certainly not fun for the 42-year-old racer.

“If Vale can still find a way to enjoy his performances, I highly recommend him to continue. But for me, the joy is being in front of the race. Staying at the end isn’t fun,” Schwantz said of it.
When asked about when Valentino Rossi retired, Schwantz replied, “Maybe it will happen after the Misano (San Marino) MotoGP.”
