Valentino Rossi’s farewell and Ducati’s ominous performance are discussed in the Valencian Grand Prix episode of The Race MotoGP podcast.
Host Toby Moody is joined by Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy to talk about the MotoGP sign-offs enjoyed by Rossi and compatriot Danilo Petrucci.
They then offer their takes on whether the fears of Ducati dominance in 2022 on the back of its incredible form in the 2021 run-in are overblown or valid.
There’s a discussion on standout rookie Jorge Martin and his sickness-overcoming performance, while Alex Rins’ latest crash and champion Fabio Quartararo’s inconclusive weekend are also touched upon.
And the hosts also discuss what to make of Yamaha’s apparent continued efforts to lure away KTM’s golden boy Raul Fernandez, and Simon provides an update on MotoGP’s Indonesian 2022 debutant venue Mandalika.
