Valentino Rossi autobiography will hit shelves on November 10, and Marc Marquez says he might read it only after he quits racing.
Rossi’s book uncovers a storied rivalry
La Mia Storia, co-written with journalist Giorgio Terruzzi, stretches 480 pages and charts Rossi’s life on and off the circuit. The narrative revisits the fierce battles with Marquez, especially the contentious 2015 season that deepened their feud.
Marquez’s curious stance on Rossi’s tale
When asked whether he’d spar with Rossi’s perspective in the pages, Marc Marquez shrugged. He noted he has not heard if Rossi will mention him, adding that he hopes to read the book in retirement. “It’s good to learn from the top legends,” Marquez said, warning that MotoGP fans already know the excitement on the track.
Legacy links fuel the narrative
Although Rossi retired from MotoGP at the end of 2021 to focus on four‑wheel adventure racing, he keeps ties in the paddock. He owns the VR46 team, which has an indirect connection to Rossi’s former rival’s employer, Ducati. Rossi’s BMW commitments occupy most of his schedule, but he returned to the Misano arena for his home race this past weekend.
Tension surfaced during practice footage from Friday’s session when Marquez tackled Turn 8 on the factory Ducati. The broadcast zoomed to Rossi trackside, then returned to Marquez as the footage replayed, cutting to his gaze turned away. He later remarked that the track itself already offered enough drama for fans.
