Giacomo Agostini, the legendary Italian motorcycle racer, is often regarded as one of the greatest riders of all time. With 15 world championship titles under his belt, his legacy is firmly cemented in the world of motorsport. His wife, Maria Agostini, has always been one of his biggest supporters. In a recent statement, Maria expressed her unwavering belief in her husband’s skills, even claiming that he would still dominate the competition today if he were able to race.
According to Maria, Giacomo’s talent surpasses that of contemporary riders, including 2021 MotoGP World Champion Fabio Quartararo. “Giacomo’s experience, intuition, and precision on the bike are unmatched. Even now, with all the advancements in technology, I believe he would outperform the best of today,” she stated with pride.
Her conviction that her husband remains the pinnacle of racing excellence is a testament to the deep connection they share. “True love can blind you to everything else, but in this case, it’s clear to me. No one comes close to Giacomo,” she added.
While her words reflect a passionate, loving perspective, they also ignite a fascinating debate among fans of different eras. Can the skills of past legends be compared to modern racers with vastly different machines and conditions? In Maria Agostini’s eyes, at least, there’s no competition—Giacomo is still the Best.
