Valentino Rossi has Corona: “I’m sad and angry”

“The Doctor” has Corona: the 41-year-old Italian announced this himself on Thursday. “I have a slight fever and got myself tested. The second result was positive,” says Rossi, who is looking for explanations: “I am sad and angry because I strictly followed the safety protocol and immediately went into quarantine at Le Mans. Now I can’t do anything except follow the doctor’s instructions.” Rossi is out of at least the Aragon Grand Prix at the weekend in Alcaniz, Spain. It initially remained unclear whether “VR46” would be able to start again at the Teruel Grand Prix on the same course the following week. Rossi made his debut in 1996 in the 125cc class on an Aprilia, and just a year later he became world champion. This was followed by titles in the 250s and 500s. In MotoGP, which was introduced in the 2002 season, Rossi triumphed six times. This means that the crowd favorite won the World Cup crown at least once in every class in which he competed. In the all-time best list, Rossi is number 6 with 115 Grand Prix victories and 9 world titles behind his legendary compatriot Giacomo Agostini (2/122). Corona brings tears to Pellegrini's face After five-time world footballer Cristiano Ronaldo Rossi is the third world sports star to test positive for COVID-3 within three days. In addition to these two exceptional talents, Italy's super swimmer Federica Pellegrini also announced her corona illness on Thursday evening. The 2008 Olympic champion and 6-time world champion stood in front of the camera crying and said in a video on her social media channels: “I felt pain, then I also had a sore throat. I then got tested and received a positive result.” Pellegrini immediately went into quarantine and canceled a trip to Budapest planned for Monday, where the first competitions of the season would have taken place.
