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. After an unprecedented first 5 races of a shortened season due to Covid-19, we have already seen 4 riders and 3 manufacturers winning the races, which makes the Misano double header even more important. 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 .

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
