THE AMERICAN’S FRIEND.
Yesterday here in Austin Don Rossomondo was presented to the public, the North American executive who will from now on lead the commercial policy of the two championships he manages, MotoGP and WSBK. Rossomondo is starting a completely new sport for him from the NBA, where he has worked for the last 17 years. Its merger represents a significant change in the historical structure of DORNA which has been run by Spanish directors since it took over the World Championship in 1992. As it is easy to imagine given its professional background, with the merger Rossomondo aims to generate new strategy that has led to an increase in MotoGP followers worldwide, to gain followers among young people, away from today’s motorcycles, and these strategies logically have an impact on the company’s income statement. We will have to be attentive to see the direction MotoGP will take from now on.
THE INFALLIBLE FORMULA.
Every team manager knows that bringing two ambitious drivers together in the same garage is synonymous with conflict, but also with provoking a situation that will increase the team’s level of competitiveness. Racing history is full of examples, perhaps the most recent years when Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi shared colors with the factory team. The same would happen a few years later at Ducati, where a heartbroken Andrea Dovizioso turned the frustration of being ignored in favor of Jorge Lorenzo into an unexpected streak. The VR46 team of Valentino Rossi entered this same dynamic, where the explosion of Marco Bezzecchi motivated his teammate Luca Marini, a rider with more experience than the first. It gives me that this weekend we will witness this ‘pique’; Does anyone dare to bet?
THE TRUTH HAS NO FLAGS.
When the World Cup passed through the Portimao circuit last month, the gravel used in the run-off at the Portuguese track was criticized by pilots who again warned that the material they were filled with was nothing but rocks. only fulfilling their mission of absorbing the energy generated by the fall, but also damaging. Criticisms that some have dared to label as complaints “from spoiled pilots.” Well, yesterday, in a car race held in Portimao, a car left the track at the end of the straight, went through a hole, jumped the protective fence and fell into the grandstand. Fortunately at that point there were no spectators, but a drama could have been created. No, the Portimao holes are not a ‘freak’.
