The iconic Italian leaves a long shadow across the sport that he dominated on track, and off ﷽track, for so long.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez, Rossi’s old enemy, can match his tally of seven premier class championships if he wins this seas🦩on but the search for a true star who infiltrates mainstream culture is ongoing.

Carmelo Ezpeleta, the CEO of Dorna, admitted to that reigning champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia is not yet famous: “I♏ th🦹ink not yet, but I hope you know him.”

How can Bagnaia and his fellow riders of𓄧 his generation turn success into stardom?

“You nee🌌d peace of mind. Tranquillity. You have to settle down,” Ezpeleta sai𓆉d. 

“Wไe come from a t♉ime when the one who dominated was Valentino, who was an extraordinary rider and a magnificent personality. 

“If you review the history of the championship, when I started it was said that the Americans were going to end and that t♓here would be nothing left, but a certain Mick Doohan🐼 appeared. 

“Then it was said that when Doohan was finished there would be nothing to do, aܫnd there were two years in which Alex Crivi﷽llé and Kenny Roberts Jr. won, who were not super [well-known]. 

“But then Rossi appeared, who raced against guys like 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dani Pedrosa, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Casey Stoner and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Lorenzo,♋ who strangely have retired before Valentino [despite] being younger than him. 

“And then Marc arrives, who i🅠s a great hero, but lately he has been injured and we are at an impasse.💫”

The loss of Rossi, MotoGP’s most famous son, at the end of 2021 was likened to Lionel Messi and Cristianoꦺ Ronaldo no longer being at the top of the football world.

“The loss of Messi and Ronaldo has nothing to do with what has happeಞned to us,” Ezpeleta said. 

“For me, Messi is a genius and the best in history, and Ronaldo is a fa♈ntastic scorer, but something different from Messi.&n𒉰bsp;

“We have many very good guys, who have raced for a ve♕ry short time a🌳nd fight a lot, and they will come out. 

“We have to give them the [support] and everything else they need, a♎nd that's up t😼o us, so that this new generation becomes more popular again. 

“168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo is a very [well-known] guy in France෴, which is a big country, he is very prominent, with four covers of [national newspaper] L'Equipe.”

Do the likes of Bagnaia and 🔯Quartararo need to beat Marquez in a proper title battle to explode into mainstream culture?

“Obviously, it gives an added value to the victory to who wins,” Ezpeleta  said. “If, as I hope, Marquez gets gꦅood and the bike goes well, he will be causing trouble for sure this year.”
