Aleix Espargaro Anggap Pamor Valentino Rossi bak Michael Jordan di NBA

  • Ikon MotoGP, Valentino Rossi, akan pensiun akhir MotoGP 2021.
  • Pembalap Aprilia, Aleix Espargaro, menganggap sosok Rossi di MotoGP sama dengan Michael Jordan di NBA.
  • Aleix Espargaro menilai pengaruh dan prestasi The Doctor turut berjasa dalam membentuk wajah MotoGP.

SKOR.id - Pembalap Aprilia Racing, Aleix Espargaro, menuturkan kesan-kesannya untuk Valentino Rossi.

Seperti diketahui, Rossi akan gantung helm pada akhir musim ini, setelah 26 tahun malang melintang di kejuaraan dunia balap motor.

Sepanjang kariernya, pembalap kelahiran Urbino, Italia itu telah mengoleksi sembilan gelar juara, tujuh di antaranya di kelas utama, MotoGP.

Tak sekadar hebat di lintasan, The Doctor juga turut berjasa dalam mengangkat popularitas MotoGP menjadi seperti sekarang. 

Bukan hanya para penggemarnya yang kagum, bicara prestasi, Rossi menginspirasi banyak pembalap. Salah satunya, Aleix Espargaro.

Dalam wawancara dengan Tuttomotoriweb, kakak dari Pol Espargaro itu mengaku sangat bangga bisa satu trek dengan sang idola.

"Saya hanya bisa berkata bahwa saya sangat bangga bisa membalap bersama dengannya," ujar pembalap asal Spanyol itu.

"Sangat sulit untuk menemukan seseorang yang bisa menyamainya. Bagi saya, dia adalah Michael Jordan di MotoGP."

"Akan sangat keren jika dia pensiun dalam keadaan menang. Tapi, kecintaannya pada balap motor, membuatnya harus gantung helm di kondisi yang tidak ideal."

Membandingkan Rossi dengan Michael Jordan, tentu sebuah penghormatan.Sama seperti Rossi, Jordan sering dianggap sebagai ikon basket dunia.

Legenda NBA dan Chichago Bulls khususnya itu mengantongi enam cincin juara dan berkali-kali terpilih sebagai MVP, baik di NBA Finals maupun musim reguler.

Meski banyak bermunculan bintang baru setelahnya, sebut saja LeBron James dan Stephen Curry, tak mampu menggeser pesona Michael Jordan.

Hal yang sama terjadi di MotoGP. Bahkan, Marc Marquez yang meraih gelar juara tujuh kali berturut-turut pada 2013-2019, dianggap belum sepadan.

"Memang, Marc bisa menang di musim-musim selanjutnya. Bahkan, dia meraih belasan gelar. Tapi dia bukan pengganti sepadan," ujar Aleix Espargaro.

"Rossi telah meyakinkan begitu banyak orang untuk mengikuti olahraga ini, membuat MotoGP jadi salah satu olahraga paling populer di dunia," ia memungkasi.
