Valentino Rossi did not escape observing the performance of his students who fought in the 2022 MotoGP. The Doctor hope Francesco Bagnaia et al can achieve the best results.
Rossi may no longer ride a motorbike on the track after retiring at the end of 2021. However, the influence of the nine-time world champion in MotoGP is still felt today.
Yes, Rossi has four students who graduated from the VR46 Academy who are contestants for the 2022 MotoGP. The four include Francesco Bagnaia, Franco Morbidelli, Marco Bezzecchi, and Luca Marini who is also VR46’s half-brother.
Of the four riders, Bagnaia has the best performance in the first half of the 2022 MotoGP. The Ducati rider has won the first podium three times and is fourth in the standings with 106 points.
Rossi also appreciates Bagnaia’s achievements in MotoGP 2022. The former Italian rider also hopes that other VR46 Academy graduates can follow FB63 and provide the best performance in the second half of the season.
“I wish our riders well. I hope Pecco Bagnaia can recover the points left behind and can fight for the World Championship,” said Valentino Rossi, quoted from Tuttomotoriweb.

“And also so that my brother and Bez can still fight for some podiums,” he said.
The second half of the 2022 MotoGP will be launched on August 7, aka next week. The Silverstone Circuit will host the 2022 British MotoGP.
