The last stage of Moto GP 2022 will take place on November 6 in Valencia, but this circuit could be charged with a strong symbolic value for Italian motorcycling. Where Valentino Rossi rode his last career race in 2021, Francesco Bagnaia could clinch his world title.

But Valencia is already a representative track for Italian motorcycle fans. Indeed, on this circuit the living legend, Valentino Rossi, ran his last career race on November 14, 2021. In short, an important place where the nine-time world champion could finally pass the baton, finally after 13 years, to another Italian pilot.
What happened and what can happen at the Moto GP of Spain
Beyond any superstition that only delights us at the decisive moment, Francesco Bagnaia could win the world title in Valencia. In fact, it only takes two points to win the coveted trophy (and one could say, right now, more than deserved). After the victory of ‘Pecco’ in Malaysia, in fact, the hope that this 2022 will see an Italian driver triumph on the highest step of the absolute podium is becoming more and more concrete. Bagnaia and Quartararo are split by 23 points in favor of the 25-year-old Piedmont. Thus, for the ‘Pecco’, it will be enough to finish in 13th place or to hope that Quartararo does not win, if he leaves the points zone. In short, crossing your fingers and only postponing the celebrations at the appropriate time is a rather realistic scenario.

And it could happen on a circuit that has taken on symbolic meaning for Italian motorcycling. Indeed, on November 14, 2021 in Valencia, the nine-time world champion, Valentino Rossi, said goodbye to Moto GP. The ‘Doctor’, who is the last Italian champion, could finally hand over to another Italian in this ‘magical’ Spanish land. A track not too popular with Rossi, in which he lost two championships, but which could take on a new value on November 6. Indeed, for the occasion, ‘The Doctor’ will be in the pits to support ‘Pecco’ close to his first world title in the premier category.

Impossible not to underline how this moment could be very important for Italian motorcycling, in which the last Italian champion would pass the baton to the new “heir”. A transfer which in Valencia, on November 14, 2021, saw its first steps with the victory of Francesco Bagnaia wearing one of the most emblematic helmets of Valentino Rossi. The adrenaline is high and it is impossible not to have your eyes fixed on next November 6 when this dream full of coincidences could turn into reality.
