Giorgio TERRUZZI: "Valentino Rossi ha regalato un'esperienza condivisa" #Senna #schumacher #motogp
Giorgio Terruzzi has been a sports storyteller for a lifetime. He has met the greatest. He has experienced unrepeatable moments. He has learned that behind every champion there is always a human story. "Talent is not enough - he explained in this long interview -. True champions work hard every day to improve". He saw this dedication in Senna, Schumacher and Valentino Rossi. Three different legends but united by the same obsession: never being satisfied. SENNA, THE MAN WHO SPOKE WITH GOD Ayrton Senna was special. Terruzzi spent time with him even off the track. He went to his home in Sao Paulo. He discovered a deep, introspective man. The victory cry in the 1991 Brazilian Grand Prix has gone down in history. Senna had won at home, in front of his fans, with the gearbox jammed. In that cry there were many things: belonging, sharing, love for Brazil. VALENTINO, THE GOD OF ENTERTAINMENT Valentino Rossi changed everything. He transformed Italian Sundays into a party. "My mother would ask me: 'how's Vale?' - Terruzzi said -. As if he were one of the family". The interview in the camper in 2004 became legendary. A long sequence that started in bed and ended in the garage. "The credit was all his", admitted the journalist. "He always sent the ball back to you". Rossi had it all: competitive spirit, fun, joviality. He gave us a shared adventure that lasted for years. He left the number 46 on scooters all over the world. SCHUMACHER, THE BEAST OF COMPETITION Michael Schumacher was different. A leader inside Ferrari. It took him five years to win the first world championship in red. He was at risk of being fired in the early years. Then he transformed everything with incredible intensity. "You told him to do a hundred laps and he did them - Terruzzi recalled -, with a gap between the fast and slow laps of two tenths". A robotic precision. A frightening consistency. On the skiing accident, Terruzzi was clear: "What do they have to say? They have nothing to communicate". Respect for the family comes first. "The suffering of others always deserves respect". TODAY'S CHAMPIONS Bagnaia and Marquez have started a new rivalry. Two opposite characters. "Bagnaia is an anti-character - Terruzzi observed -, but he is an authentic champion". Great rivalries often end with a reconciliation. "It gives you the opportunity to bring out your best", he concluded. It is a wealth that takes away something but gives much more. Giorgio Terruzzi is 66 years old. He grew up in Monza. He fell in love with Lorenzo Bandini when he was a child. He became a journalist out of passion, not by chance. He honored the privilege of seeing incredible things. He told the stories of champions who were first and foremost men.
