"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. However, there are at least three episodes that can be defined as unfortunate and which prevented him from leading the table: engine failure at Jerez, the unfortunate accident with Zarco in Austria and being taken out by Aleix Espargarò at Misano 2.

Last 3 Race Weekends have been nothing less than distaster/heartbreaks for Yellow Army and Valentino Rossi alike. While The Doctor seemed pretty confident on Saturday's, he crashed on Sunday's. But the question that arises here is why so frequent falls? Simon Patterson has given pretty good analysis about it. Have a read. Since his return to Yamaha in 2013, Valentino Rossi has built a new style of MotoGP career for himself, challenging at the front of the championship not through outright speed but through consistency and being close to podium contention nearly every weekend. In fact, that consistency has become such a Rossi trait that it almost handed him his last championship success in 2015 – a year where he took four wins to Jorge Lorenzo’s seven and Marc Marquez’s five but managed to keep the fight going until the final round. However, that reliable form has deserted him in recent rounds this year, with Sunday’s crash out of the French Grand Prix marking his third DNF in t

Fabio Quartararo admits he “can’t replace” Valentino Rossi when the Frenchman steps up to the factory Yamaha squad in 2021 and is simply “taking his bike”. Nine-time grand prix motorcycle world champion Rossi will take Quartararo’s place at Petronas Yamaha next season, after a one-year deal with the Malaysian outfit and Yamaha was announced last weekend.  Yamaha moved to sign Quartararo amidst keen interest from Ducati on the 2019 rookie sensation, with Rossi’s original plans to assess his performances in the opening rounds before taking a decision on his future forcing him to be moved out of the works squad.  Quartararo’s deal with Yamaha to partner Maverick Vinales at the factory team runs through to 2022.

In an exclusive interview with Motorsport.com, Quartararo says he was “pleased” back in January that Yamaha believed in him for its future – but feels “nobody can touch” Rossi’s “place”.  “I was quite surprised because we make

Also read:  Why Rossi is still loved? He uses title "The Doctor" and a lot of his Fans are still not sure why? The following Information is from one of his short documentries.  "Since dominating the 500 cc category later known as MotoGP, "The Doctor" has become the nickname of choice for Rossi. Two theories prevail as to why Rossi uses "The Doctor." One is that Rossi adopted the nickname upon having earned a degree, which in Italy entitles one to use the title "Doctor".  Another, as spoken by Graziano himself, "The Doctor because, I don

Well, its time for San Marino GP at Misano, the time of the year when our Doctor reveals his most  quirky  Helmet design every year.  Valentino Rossi is known for his bold and colorful personality – but he’s equally known for his many bold and colorful helmets, all of which have unique meanings to the world’s most loved road racer.  And yes, he has done it again. The 9 times world champion has once again shown signs of his undeniable originality and sense of the show.  So, what has he delighted us with this time?  A helmet design with a lot of humor: A blister of 4 Viagra Pills with one missing with a message in front "Doppia 46 mg" meaning double 46 milligrams, denoting the double heading at his home GP. So, what does that mean? Not sure, still waiting for the revelation. Does it denote that Yamaha needs to boost their performance? That's what Viagra is for, right? Or is it a message for Vale himself....!!!! (Also read:  San Marino GP: What to expect? ) Only Vale or time

So after a breather for 2 weeks, we are back again with some Racing action, with 3 back to back races and total 9 races in 11 weeks starting with the double header at Gran Premio Lenovo di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini on the beautiful Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.

Some Good and Bad news have already made their way, Good that we might see some spectators in the stands and Bad that we have got report of 2 Positive Covid cases in the Paddock including Moto2 title contender, Jorge Martin. With so much already going on this season, let's take a look on what to expect from the San Marino GP .

MotoGP, the fastest 2 wheel sport in the world, is facing a real problem in last few years, LACK OF NEW RECORDS.   Not that the riders are not of that caliber any more, obviously we have Marc Marquez, Maverik Vinales, Quartarao, Pol and Valentino Rossi, the Doctor on the track, so what has changed?  Michelin became the Tyre supplier in MotoGP in 2016 and still Bridgestone has track records for about half of the tracks on the calendar.  Michelin has race records at Jerez, Le Mans, Losail, Misano, Mugello, Sachsenring, Sepang and Valencia. Bridgestone holds race records at Aragon, Assen, Brno, COTA, Motegi, Phillip Island and Termas. In a sport like MotoGP where technology is advancing at such fast pace, five years is really a very long time to keep your records. So what is the reason for that?  2 major reasons I can think of: Firstly, Michelin Tyres, although Michelin’s front slick precedes its rear slick whenever MotoGP riders take to the track, in terms of performance the front lags b

Andrea Dovizioso believes absent champion Marc Marquez would have struggled for consistency in the 2020 MotoGP World Championship season. Andrea Dovizioso has dismissed the notion the 2020 MotoGP World Championship is suffering without the presence of its dominant champion Marc Marquez, speculating he may have struggled just as much to be consistent. The Spaniard’s absence following an injury in round one will see a new MotoGP World Champion crowned in 2020, but no favourite has emerged from the opening five rounds with four different winners thus far, including three first-time winners. With Fabio Quartararo and Dovizioso enduring fluctuating fortunes this year so far, Marquez himself has questioned which rider will have the consistency to mount a convincing title challenge. However, Desmo Dovi believes the changes to the tyre regulations are the primary reason for the unpredictable form sheet at the moment, which he thinks would have hampered Marquez on the Repsol Honda as much as hi
