Valentino Rossi ready to unwrap the gift of Pecco Bagnaia

It has been since 2009 that an Italian has not won the MotoGp world championship. Valentino Rossi did, and since then it has been a matter between Spaniards, except for the 2011 exploits of Casey Stoner and the 2021 one of Fabio Quartararo. And it is no coincidence that one of the ‘Doctor’s’ protégés, Pecco Bagnaia, is now in the running. Valentino Rossi, who raised the Piedmontese in his Academy, will live with great excitement the final stages of the World Championship of the Queen Class. Which could have its epilogue in Sepang.

The penultimate round of the season will also be an opportunity to remember Marco Simoncelli, who lost his life on the Sepang circuit on October 23, 2011 in a tragic accident.

For the occasion, on Sky Sport MotoGP, The Rule of Marco and SIC will be broadcast, two films to retrace the life and career of the unforgettable rider from Romagna.
