Among the millions of fans of the "doctor", who will compete in his last MotoGP race in Valencia on Sunday, there is also the Swiss giant. His splendid letter to greet Vale, which he has been following since he was 8 and for which he wears the 46 on his helmet.

Many will have noticed this, in narrow shots or in some photographs.
The “46”, that number so special for world sport, on the helmet of a World Cup athlete, for many years now. The Valentino Rossi symbol used by Justin Murisier, who is an avid fan of the Tavullia champion, like many other athletes of the white circus, including Marcel Hirscher (whom we remember on the track at the Red Bull Ring to support him) and our Luca De Aliprandini, just to name a couple.
In these days at Copper Mountain, where he is preparing the super-gs of Lake Louise and Beaver Creek, the 29-year-old from the Canton of Valais has given a really exciting social message to greet the one who does not hesitate to define his idol of all time, but who it also represents something more and an example for not giving up, if we think that among other things Murisier is an athlete who has lived a career full of injuries. “Vale, I wish you a great last race in MotoGP - writes the Swiss - You are my idol since Mugello 2000, where I was able to see you for the first time.
Since then I have been wearing your number on my helmet, you are a source of inspiration and role model for me. You've had ups and downs, but you never gave up, and that always helped me stay motivated when I was injured. I'll keep the 46 on my helmet as a great memento of the best MotoGP rider ever.
Thanks Vale and all the best to you and your team for the future ”.
