Valentino Rossi and his partner Francesca areꦕ set to welcꦯome another baby.

Their first daughter Giulie༒tta was born in 2022 and is now set to b🌃ecome a sister to another little girl, the couple announced.

And - classic Val꧂e - th𒐪e news was announced in trademark fashion.

“S🧜he’s definitely a female, Doctor,” was the caption on social media, a play on Rossi’s MotoGP nickname.

“Franci is pregnant, we are expecting another🐟 gi🐻rl.”

The 𒁏MotoGP championship replied: “The best news! Congratulations to all the family, weও can't wait to welcome her in the paddock!”

Rossi⛄, aged 45, 🐼retired from MotoGP at the end of 2021.

But he has since started racing on four wheels, and compe🐲ted in the 24 Hours of Le Mans last month.

Although he is still spotted on bikes - including at a recent Monster Energy Legends Day at Silverstone - hi♉s main role in the MotoGP paddock is with his team, VR46.

Along with big changes in hisꦺ personal life, Rossi’s💜 team might encounter big changes next year.

With Pramac exiting to go to Yamaha, VR46 and Gresini are𝓀 the only remaining satellite teams in the Ducati structure.

It means VR46 hope to profit from the🐲 u💜se of a factory bike next season.
