Misano

In Misano, we decided to pull out all the stops for a San Marino Grand Prix which must prove to the promoter Dorna that Italy is interested in its MotoGP, even without Valentino Rossi. The last visit to the peninsula in Mugello cast some doubt on this subject and there is no question of it being confirmed. So, on the banks of the Adriatic, we'll be firing on all cylinders, starting with this exhibition football match which will take place on Wednesday evening. Current and past drivers will be there, but we note the absence of the reigning World Champion and leader of the general classification Fabio Quartararo. However, he showed more often than not on the canvas that he loved football...

fabio quartararo will a priori be the big absentee from this good-natured sporting event which has chosen football to reveal itself. Unless the Frenchman appears as the surprise referee of the upcoming game, we will not find his name in either of the two team lineups, nor even on the sidelines as coach. Functions that its rivals in the title race Aleix Espargaró et Pecco Bagnaia will occupy however. However, two French people will play and these will be the cases of Johann zarco and of Lorenzo Fellon.
