Valentino Rossi: I stand with Federica Pellegrini

Share


From Rio de Janeiro to Zeltweg, from the water to the asphalt: the echo of the Olyimpics arrived all the way to the Red Bull Ring, along with the controversy about Federica Pellegrini. Siding with the swimmer was Valentino Rossi: “I stand with Federica, the super champion made clear.

The Doctor knows well how it feels when criticism rains down and everything that has been done even in the recent past is forgotten in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately it always goes like this, even if it is not fair: all it takes is a mistake and everything done up to the day before is forgotten - Valentino reflects - I'm very sorry for her. She deserved a medal and the long wait only served to increase the disappointment.

Then the fans, or presumed fans, went on a rampage with judgmental comments about everything, such as the decision not to participate in the 100 metre freestyle.

I won't judge Pellegrini's choices. They are technical in nature and I am sure that she had her reasons - continues Rossi - Unfortunately, everyone is always ready to criticize. On social media even the most insignificant jerks can say their piece when it would be better to stay quiet instead.
