"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. Yet despite these three zeros that did not depend on his mistakes, Morbidelli is 25 points behind Joan Mir and with three races remaining he is still able to think about the title. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, the Team Petronas rider talked about his current situation, his state of mind and the splendid relationshi...

MotoGP is the best Motorcycle racing event and one of the best Racing events overall, challenged only by Formula 1. It consists of many races, usually about 18, in different parts of the world. Yet, where ever you go, irrespective of country, region etc, you will find one Color and one Number everywhere. The sea of Yellow Flags and number 46, has been around in MotoGP from the time I have been watching it. If you already don't know what or who I am talking about, probably you don't know anything about MotoGP at all. Just to make you aware, both these belong to 9 times World Champion, Valentino Rossi. MotoGP has seen some very fine Riders in recent past like Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, Casey Stoner and of course, Marc Marquez but still no one has been able to find that huge love and support from followers and fans all over the Globe. What is so special about "The Doctor" that he has become synonymous with MotoGP itself for hundreds of thousands of Fans worldwide? 1. S...

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 . Yamahas have come to Misano with high hopes after awful weekends at Austria/Styria, wishing that the twisty circuit of Misano would give them some relief and their high corner speed ...

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 performan...

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...
