MotoGp: Valentino Rossi expected in Valencia

Valentino Rossi expected in Valencia

In Valencia, at the Grand Prix where the title of MotoGp world champion will be awarded, there will be an exceptional spectator: Valentino Rossi. Claiming this is ‘Marca,’ according to which that of the ‘Doctor’ would not be a decision dictated by the possibility of seeing his protégé Pecco Bagnaia triumph: the trip to the city of paella for the race weekend would have been planned for some time by the former motorcycling champion.

The last Italian rider to win in MotoGp was Valentino Rossi himself, 13 years ago, while Bagnaia in case of success will be the first Italian centaur since Agostini (1972) to dominate with an Italian motorcycle in the premier class of MotoGP.

After six titles won by Valentino Rossi in eight years it was Spanish riders who took the lion’s share of the MotoGp world championship. From 2012 to 2020 only they have won, with Jorge Lorenzo a two-time world champion, Marc Marquez (6) and Joan Mir, triumphant in 2020 with his Suzuki. Suzuki that in Valencia will be at the farewell step, as known.
