Marc Marquez’s Girlfriend Gemma Pinto Just Made a “Shocking” Statement About Valentino Rossi and the VR46 Team After Thai MotoGP

In the ever-entertaining soap opera that is MotoGP, Marc Marquez’s girlfriend, Gemma Pinto, has seemingly decided it’s her time to shine – and not in a way anyone expected. Fresh off the Thai GP, where every rider is normally focused on the track, Pinto instead turned her sights on… Valentino Rossi and his VR46 team. Yes, that’s right. Not on her partner’s performance, or any of the usual rivalries within the race, but on Rossi, a legend who, let’s be real, retired long ago.

Pinto’s “shocking” words, if you can call them that, supposedly hinted at Rossi’s “influence” over the team’s decisions and dynamics on the circuit. It’s almost as if Pinto believes that Rossi, now a team owner and mentor, has magical powers to sway MotoGP in favor of VR46. Unfortunately for her, MotoGP fans weren’t exactly taking notes; most were busy watching the race itself. 

So, was this “statement” genuinely controversial, or was it simply a desperate grab for relevance? After all, Valentino Rossi has not only moved on but has become one of the most respected figures in MotoGP – something that makes this outburst seem less shocking and more, well, embarrassing. Let’s hope the next “shocking” revelation from Pinto has a bit more substance… and perhaps a bit more respect for one of MotoGP’s all-time greats.
