That's it, it's over, the season like Valentino Rossi's and it's in Valencia that this last dance was performed. A Grand Prix mastered by Pecco Bagnaia who wore one of the helmets of the one who allowed him to be there, thanks to the academy, as if to signal that the succession was assured. This race also signaled a solid Ducati hat-trick which is already like a free warning to the competition for 2022…
In this triplet, we find a George Martin definitively rookie of the year who is ahead of the one he only thinks of replacing within the Ducati factory, Jack Miller. The latter ensures the last points for his team in red which is crowned the best structure of this campaign. This performance also allowed him to finish fourth in the general classification, ahead of a Johann zarco who will therefore be satisfied with the final top 5.
The Frenchman from Pramac finished sixth this last meeting, ahead of Brad Binder et bastianini, but also behind Quarterly et Joan Mir who could do nothing against the other three Desmosedici. Aleix Espargaró will not have brought Aprilia the best result in its history on this route since it finished one place worse than eighth which was the reference. And then, the top 10 is closed by the one who received all the acclamations and who will continue to receive them until the end of the night: Valentino Rossi.
It will be recalled that, for the first time since 1992, there was no Honda Repsol initially due to pilots too weakened by injuries. And like Nakagami fell, one more fall to put in the debt of a Honda pilot, it is Alex Marquez which is the only one classified in RC213V in 13th place. Danilo Petrucci leaves the stage with last place, more discreetly than his illustrious compatriot, but his tears are just as sincere...
As a finale, here are the 2021 Grand Prix Champions of the year.
