After the Italy GP at Mugello, the fact that the official MotoGP account of the MotoGP was no longer present among the Instagram followers of Valentino Rossi did not escape. And inevitably the “Toto because” between those who see the signal of a departure and who a warning to Liberty Media who is about to take the helm of two -wheeled motorsport. But are we really sure it was a voluntary defollow?
TThe Defollowo! Among the kids today is a threat of those who hurt and, instead, when it is a decision already taken is of those that have a profound meaning of detachment and worn out relationships. Except that in MotoGP the kids have not been there for a long time and it is of real professionals that we speak. But in Spain it seems that nobody has done this last consideration, since the fact that the fact that Valentino Rossi stopped following the official MotoGP account.
In effects, Among the following of 46 on Instagram that account is gonebut from here to say that it was a movement of detachment from the legend of motorcycling it takes. Also because, let’s face it clearly, Valentino Rossi is so influential in motorsport that if he wanted to send some signal he would have enough to say half a word in half an interview to unleash hell. But so much …
Let’s go, however, by order. After the Italy GP at Mugelloto which, among other things, Valentino Rossi has always been present together with the men of the Team Pertamina Enduro VR46 and some guests (VIP and less VIP) of the team, in Spain they realized that the doctor stopped following the MotoGP page. And, inevitably, the “Toto because” was triggered. Did it happen at Mugello something that hit the vale? Is there a break that is consuming in this phase of transition from Dorna to Liberty Media? All questions that will never find an answer and that frankly also make a little smile. Also because the answer could be simpler than expected: It is easy for Valentino to not even know he has defollawato the MotoGPmaybe it just happened. Instagram, on certain things, is not new to “arbitrary decisions”. And above all, there is that Rossi may have wanted to change his social bubble to view “news” different from those he can know first and better through other sources.
QUello who is certain, rather, is that- in this moment of Large changes for two -wheeled motorsport – Valentino Rossi is and remains a fundamental figure who, even if only on the level of the image and marketing, will be able to guarantee continuity in the relaunch policies that Liberty Media will want to carry on to “recruit” fans. Ok, it is true that in the past Rossi has resorted to the “Ti Defollawo” after events and episodes of the track, but one account is a gesture towards a colleague or a person who gravitates in motorsport and another is to think that that “follow already” that is gone that he can mean who knows what. Also because it should be noticed and It is not that Valentino Rossi, where he felt their need, would miss means, contacts and ways to let it know that he is disagreed on something.
The “case”, however, is now mounted and this point a question should be asked directly. A Vale or more simply also to those who deal with MotoGP social networks, just to understand if someone has tried to go to the bottom of the matter and to look for an explanation. The impression, however, is that Not to clarify even what would be easy to make absolutely clear could be convenient for everyone. To generate hype and add something to the mere performance of pilots on the track. But is it still Motorsport if we are asking us who follow those who on social media instead of doing everything to see more and more tussle on the asphalt?
