The raucous action unfolded with the Italian GOAT of Grand Prix, Mr Valentino Rossi took his VR46 Academy ‘flock’ around the longest – and one of the fastest – layouts on the MotoGP calendar. World Champs past and present, Francesco Bagnaia and Franco Morbidelli, also had Marco Bezzecchiand Fabio Di Giannantonio warming the Ducati slicks. In the pitbox next door were Monster Energy Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins who got on the throttle with their R1 superbikes.
“It’s a fantastic feeling to share the track with John McGuinness… we did a lap together and all the guys from all the different championships!” Valentino Rossi was happy to spend a day in the sunny Silverstone track with some of the best in the business.
In the presence of so many other legends of the Road Racing world who were busy revving engines in the Silverstone pitlane, we managed to get behind-the-scenes and find out what they thought of their fellow heroes whilst they zipped up their leathers. With more championship titles and major event race wins than anyone could comprehend, there has never been a more unique or better line-up for a track day ever!
“Monster are good at looking after their athletes, and then putting us in places and situations we normally wouldn’t be in!” said Isle of Man TT blur-maker Peter Hickman. “It’s cool that they can cut across the sports.”
