Valentino Rossi Reported Positive COVID-19

The famous MotoGP rider from Italy who is currently with the Yamaha MotoGP Monster Energy team, Valentino Rossi is reportedly tested positive for COVID-19.

The matter was confirmed by the 9-time MotoGP world champion through a tweet on his Twitter page yesterday.

“Unfortunately, this morning I woke up and I was not feeling good. My bones were a score and I had a slight fever, so I immediately called the doctor who tested me twice,” he said.

“The ‘quick PCR test’ result was negative, just like the test I underwent on Tuesday. But the second one, of which the result was sent to me at 16:00 this afternoon, was unfortunately positive,” continued Rossi.

“I am so disappointed that I will have to miss the race at Aragon. I’d like to be optimistic and confident, but I expect the second round in Aragon to be a ‘no go’ for me as well.”

“I am sad and angry because I did my best to respect the protocol and although the test I had on Tuesday was negative, I self-isolated since my arrival from le Mans. Anyway, this is the way it is, and I can’t do anything to change the situation,” he added.

“I will now follow the medical advice, and I just hope I will be feeling well soon,” said Rossi.

The news was also shared on the MotoGP website.
