Valentino Rossi's TT trip delayed until Monday
Valentino Rossi’s highly anticipated visit to the 2009 Isle of Man TT has been postponed due to bad weather.
The MotoGP legend was due to lap the course with fellow Grand Prix great Giacomo Agostini on Saturday morning ahead of the Dainese Superbike TT race.
However, due to uncertain weather conditions, it has been decided to postpone the trip until Monday.
Dainese communications director Vittorio Cafaggi said:
‘Valentino is very much looking forward to visiting the Isle of Man and is keen to experience the races which is why we have rescheduled his trip to make sure that he is able to enjoy a lap of the course and be certain of a full day’s racing.’
Isle of Man Tourism and Leisure Minister Martyn Quayle added:
‘We are very grateful to Valentino for being flexible with his visit to the Isle of Man and look forward to welcoming him this Monday.’
