Valentino Rossi is an informed observer of motorcycle racing in addition to being one of its most efficient participants. Anyone who has seen at least two generations pass while remaining in office sees that a change has been underway for several seasons. This is the revelation of Moto2 as the true antechamber of MotoGP, which is its vocation, but which was not so obvious in practice at first...
Valentino Rossi draws attention to the fact that the level of Moto2 has now arrived high enough to actually claim to be the last step before the MotoGP. Since it replaced the 250cc category in 2010, the Moto2 category was won by Toni Elias, Stefan Bradl, Marc Marquez, Pol Espargaro, Tito Rabat, Johann zarco (twice), Franco Morbidelli, Francesco Bagnaia, Alex Marquez and now bastianini.
Among these names, there were disappointments when they found themselves on the MotoGP starting grid, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the discipline. But since then, there has been more certainty on this subject: “ practically all the young riders arriving in MotoGP from Moto2 in recent years are very competitive, " said Red on crash.net.
Rossi can't wait to see what his stepbrother will do
« The list is very long of riders fighting for the championship in Moto2 but they are usually fast with MotoGP from the first moment. It seems that the Moto2 category is a good school and there are a lot of very strong drivers in this new generation, as we saw with Mir » specifies the Doctor.
As a result, the latter is curious to know how his two new compatriots will fare in 2021, one of whom is none other than his half-brother… “ Marini and Bastianini did fantastic things with Moto2, fighting for the championship until the last race. In MotoGP, they will have a very good bike, the Ducati, and a good team. So I think Marini and Bastianini can already be competitive in 2021 ", said Red. We will recall that there will also be George Martin on a Ducati, but state-of-the-art and within the Pramac satellite team with John Zarco as a teammate.
