It was the end of an era today at the Gran Premio de la Comunitat Valenciana, with Valentino Rossi ending the final MotoGP race of his career tenth.
Rossi had a good start to his final MotoGP race, claiming two places in the opening corner to go eighth. Dropping back to tenth on lap 4, the Italian demonstrated good speed and pace throughout the season finale. Although he wasn’t able to close the gap to those in front, ‘Vale’ successfully defended his position and crossed the finish line for the final time tenth – bringing his amazing 26 years of Grand Prix racing to its conclusion.
Today was an emotional day for Rossi as his last dance after a glorious 26 years, has ended his career with PETRONAS Yamaha SRT and it will go down in the history books. The Party has just begun!
Thank you Vale for 26 years! The Greatest Of All Time!
