Valentino Rossi has assessed Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin’s showdown for the MotoGP title today.
Bagnaia currently holds a 14-point advantage over Martin heading into the Valencia MotoGP on Sunday. Rossi, who has lost out on championship leads in the past, believes the 14-point advantage is significant but acknowledges that the final race is tough. He also mentions that Bagnaia starting second and making the right tire choice is crucial. Bagnaia, a VR46 Academy graduate, won the MotoGP title last year and seems calmer this season due to his previous experience. Martin, who won Saturday’s sprint race, is determined to do whatever it takes to win the championship. Rossi mentions that Martin’s physical condition was a concern in the past but he has proved himself. Rossi, now a retired rider, enjoys the atmosphere of the final round and supports his team riders.
