Following Valentino Rossi Retirement from All MotoGP Media Due to FIM Sanction, Marc Marquez’s Girlfriend Gemma Pinto Mocking
In the wake of MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi’s shocking retirement from all media-related activities due to a recent FIM sanction, Marc Marquez’s girlfriend, Gemma Pinto, has sparked controversy by mocking the decision on social media. Rossi’s retirement from media appearances left fans heartbroken, but Pinto’s comments have added fuel to the fire, creating tension between the two camps.
Valentino Rossi, one of the greatest names in MotoGP history, decided to step away from public life after a sanction from the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). The details of the sanction remain unclear, but Rossi’s decision to retire from media engagements has left a massive void in the MotoGP community.
Gemma Pinto, who has often been outspoken about her partner Marc Marquez’s rivals, took to social media to offer a mocking response to Rossi’s decision. In a now-deleted post, Pinto reportedly made light of the situation, saying, “Looks like some legends can’t handle the heat. Retirement suits him.” The remark has since sparked outrage among Rossi’s loyal fanbase, who view the comment as disrespectful to the legacy of the Italian rider.
Fans of Valentino Rossi quickly responded, calling out Pinto’s remarks as tasteless and inappropriate given Rossi’s significant contributions to the sport. The rivalry between Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi has been one of the most heated in MotoGP history, and Pinto’s comment has only reignited tensions between their supporters.
While Marc Marquez has remained silent on the matter, sources close to the rider suggest that he is aware of the situation and may distance himself from the comments made by his girlfriend. Rossi, who has chosen to remain out of the media spotlight following his retirement announcement, has not responded to the mockery.
The MotoGP community has been buzzing with mixed reactions to Pinto’s comments, with some defending her right to express an opinion, while others argue that her remarks were disrespectful to a legend who has shaped the sport.
As the story unfolds, the clash between these two MotoGP icons continues to cast a shadow over what was meant to be a moment of reflection and respect for Valentino Rossi’s retirement from the media.
