In 2022, Valentino Rossi won’t line up on a Grand Prix grid for the first time in 26 years. While The Doctor retried from his day job in 2021, he’s keeping busy with the GT World Challenge Europe and a baby girl on the way in 2022. Vale may have new endeavors on the horizon but he remains the head honcho at his VR46 company and Rider Academy.
Following Rossi’s retirement in November, 2021, Emmy award-winning journalist Graham Bensinger visited the nine-time world champion at his home in Tavullia, Italy. Number 46 gave Bensinger the full tour, opening the gates to his Moto Ranch complex and the doors to his Ristorante Pizzeria Da Rossi. Of course, the trip wouldn’t be complete without a peek behind the curtain at the VR46 headquarters.
