Valentino Rossi
Six-time MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi, who is considered one of the legends of the sport, participated in the Spanish MotoGP Grand Prix at the Circuito de Jerez this past weekend, and showed his immense experience, but drove like a man much younger.
He had won the race at Jerez six times prior in the premier class, and another two times more – one each in the 125cc and 250cc class.
Rossi started the race on pole and held on to top spot from beginning to end of the 25-lap race. With teammate Jorge Lorenzo and two-time World Champion Marc Marquez of Repsol Honda on his tail, Rossi appeared completely unperturbed, continuously widening his lead to in excess of 2.5 seconds.
Eventually, the race would simply prove to be a battle for P2 between Lorenzo and Marquez, who both rounded off the podium, with a number of place fights further down the grid. But the Spanish Grand Prix of 2016 was thoroughly the Valentino Rossi show, and the Italian, fondly nicknamed the Doctor, absolutely owned that show.
