"That was the most shocking event of my life and Valentino helped me. For me he is more like an uncle, he helped me, taught me, and inspired me. I think I can fight for the title" Submitted by Marco Caregnato in gpone.com Franco Morbidelli has made a strong comeback in the fight for the MotoGP title thanks to his victory in the Teruel Grand Prix but above all thanks to his consistency throughout the season.
