What Rossi has done for MotoGP
Valentino Rossi’s impact on MotoGP and motorsport as a whole can never be overstated. From the genesis of his career, in the footsteps of his ex-grand prix motorcycle racing father Graziano, the world watched with great expectancy.
Through his nine world titles (seven of which were in the premier class), 115 grand prix wins, his 235 podiums, his bitter rivalries with Max Biaggi, Sete Gibernau, Casey Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Marquez, Rossi has been the driving force behind MotoGP’s popularity in the 21st century.
