The duel that will be presented by two half brothers, Valentino Rossi and Luca Marini, in the 2021 MotoGP race makes his mother, Stefania Palma, very enthusiastic. Stefania Palma can’t wait to see her two sons, Valentino Rossi and Luca Marini, compete against each other on the MotoGP track this season.
The mother of Valentino Rossi and Luca Marini did not expect to see her two children compete on the same track in the MotoGP event. Luca Marini officially upgraded from Moto2 to MotoGP this season. Valentino Rossi’s half-brother will defend the Ducati satellite team, Reale Avintia.
At Reale Avintia, he will team up with Enea Bastianini who is also a Moto2 ‘graduate’. Meanwhile, Valentino Rossi will wear the Petronas Yamaha SRT uniform this season. He will be a duet with his new partner, Franco Morbidelli.
Stefania Palma also admitted that she was curious about the duel between her two sons on the 2021 MotoGP race track. “I’m curious to see them together on the track,” Stefania Palma told GPone.com. “However, what excites me the most is seeing Luca at Ducati. When Vale told me that Luca was going to race in MotoGP with Ducati, I was very excited, in a positive sense of course. I like the idea of Luca with a Ducati, a challenge that is all Italian, like a patriot,” said Palma.
Although curious about who is better, Palma sees that the relationship between Valentino Rossi and Luca Marini will be stronger because they help each other as brothers. “I think the challenges on this track will bring them closer,” said Palma. “I think the relationship between Luca and Vale will be stronger than it already is. Luca will definitely have the opportunity to grow and learn from watching Vale, and at the same time Valentino will get more motivation,” added the mother of Valentino Rossi and Luca Marini.
Luca Marini said he was proud to have the opportunity to compete with his older brother who is also his idol. However, Luca Marini admitted that he was not sure he could compete with Valentino Rossi’s ability even though he was much younger.
“I and Valentino Rossi have often talked about MotoGP 2021. For me, being on the same track as Valentino Rossi is certainly very extraordinary and definitely emotional,” said Luca Marini. “I am very happy to be able to compete with Valentino Rossi. However, I am still not sure I can be as fast as Valentino Rossi. However, I will definitely try it,” said Luca Marini which ended with a smile.
