“I told him over the years that if you ever go to Ducati, then you’ve got to get me a Ducati Monster.
”The model naturally is the Rossi MotoGP Replica Monster 696 with Rossi’s yellow race #46 on the side of the gas tank .
“I used to have a Yamaha scooter,” said Rossi’s mom “but riding a bike with gears is completely a different emotion .

“Rossi’s mom also denied that she’s going to become a grandmother, “We talked about this rumor at Mugello and wondered how these stories surface, since it’s not true, “ and regarding Valentino’s problems with the Ducati, she said, “I told Valentino that I think that life isn’t always like a movie, and to get what you desire for you have to fight for it: he and Ducati are very attentive regarding the problems.
