ROME – Valentino Rossi is appealing the sanction of Commissioners Fim September 25 for contact with Marc Marquez in the Grand Prix at Sepang. The sponsoring the Yamaha rider – said in a statement signed dall’avv.Massimiliano Maestretti Lugano – filed appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne against the decision.

In his appeal to the CAS Rossi he sought the annulment of the three penalty points or at least be reduced to 1. Together with the application, the rider from Pesaro has also introduced the requirement that a decision is made urgent by Friday, 6 November for not losing his position on the grid in Valencia. At least on this last request the ‘doctor’ was satisfied because the Tas announced that the “arbitration procedure is already underway and that a decision will be no later than November 6,” When I scheduled the first sessions free practice at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo.

RETURN TO NORMAL ‘- For Valentino Rossi’s return to “normality” started two days ago in Tavullia with a short session in the gym. But the turning point will be tomorrow, with a long day at the Ranch with the students of the Academy. Valentino will start at the bottom of the group, just to get used to. And then off, running until sunset continuing to pursue his dream. Who these days has been close to Pesaro he tells of a striking metamorphosis: depression Sepang was disposed of during the long plane ride started in the night between Sunday and Monday. He spent almost a whole day or to sleep, to regain energy and determination that has accompanied him throughout this memorable season. Rossi has peeped out of the house on Wednesday, stroppiciandosi eyes to the gym and the meeting with his coach, Carlo Casabianca. A little ‘race to dispose of toxins – and frustration – accumulated, then returned the smile and the will to fight, despite everything: the tweet the other day (“Thank you for the fantastic support. Read helped me overcome bitter and pissed off. Now you work for Valencia “) was exemplary. The watchword is “concentration”: the goal, focus all their physical and mental strength on the commitment of next Sunday at Sepang. Valentine has spent many hours watching television, to meet again the Malaysian race and shook his head to the provocations of Marquez.

THE VICTORIES IN VALENCIA – Though the screen went too Race videos of recent years in the Valencia circuit, where the Doctor has won twice (2003 and 2004) but he also knew what is perhaps his greatest sporting disappointment: the Grand Prix of 2006, when after an epic comeback championship it had only a good result and instead mysteriously lost his head, fell in the early laps and tried an impossible comeback ended with the thirteenth place and the title given to Nicky Hayden. “And one thing that has remained open, a wound that can heal in only one way: riprendendomi the title right on that track.” So said Valentino in the last week, before the disastrous race at Sepang and three penalty points on your license, which will force him from the twenty-fifth place on the grid, eight rows of riders in front of him. But perhaps, for this reason, it pays to believe again.
