  • Kepindahan ke Petronas Yamaha SRT pun bukan ajang tur perpisahan.

SKOR.id - Memasuki usia 41 tahun, pertanyaan kapan pensiun dari dunia balap MotoGP sudah sering hinggap di telinga Valentino Rossi.

Kontrak dengan Monster Energy Yamaha yang akan berakhir pada penghujung tahun ini pun sempat menjadi sinyal The Doctor pensiun.

Namun, Valentino Rossi belum bisa memberikan kepastian.

Seperti dilansir GP One, Valentino Rossi menyatakan bahwa dia bakal menerima tawaran bergabung dengan Petronas Yamaha pada MotoGP 2021 jika dia masih kompetitif.

Pertanyaan kemudian berubah menjadi apakah Valentino Rossi takut pensiun sehingga memutuskan pindah tim musim depan.

Dalam sebuah wawancara dengan BT Sport, Rossi pun dengan tegas menolak anggapan takut pensiun meskipun sudah tidak muda lagi.

"Saya tidak takut pensiun. Itu (pensiun) bukan kata yang tepat untuk menggambarkan kondisi saya," ujar pembalap yang akrab disapa Vale tersebut.

"Saya hanya merasa bahwa seri terakhir nanti akan terasa penuh kesedihan dan sulit diterima. Saya sangat mencintai balapan."

Ya, Valentino Rossi sudah balapan 20 tahun.

"Saya selalu menikmati masa itu, bersenang-senang," ujar Valentino Rossi.

Kekasih Francesca Sofia Novello tersebut menegaskan tidak akan pensiun dalam waktu dekat meskipun balapan tanpa penonton bisa mengurangi rasa sedihnya.

"Sebenarnya mengakhiri karier dalam situasi saat ini (balapan tertutup) cukup positif. Pensiun tanpa penggemar atau penonton akan terasa lebih mudah bagi saya," ujarnya.

"Namun, hari pensiun tetap akan terasa sangat sedih. Saya sama sekali tidak melihat satu hal bagus (saat hari pensiun). Yang saya lihat hanyalah kesedihan dan memori buruk. Tidak ada hal positif."

Pemilik sembilan gelar juara dunia balap motor itu pun menegaskan bahwa seandainya dia pindah ke Petronas, maka hal itu bukan untuk melakoni tur perpisahan selama setahun.

"Jika saya pindah ke Petronas, karena saya merasa masih kompetitif, bisa meraih podium, dan menang di setiap seri," kata Rossi.

Jika waktunya telah tiba, Valentino Rossi pun akan mengumumkan kapan akan mengakhiri karier balapan profesional yang dirintis sejak tahun 2000.
