How Rossi helped MotoGP’s latest fairytale winner

Toby Moody and Simon Patterson look back at all the MotoGP action from the first weekend of the Misano double-header. There's talk about another fairytale win in MotoGP, and why Valentino Rossi will be pleased about it even if his own race drifted away near the end and he lost a podium finish on the final lap. We look at if Rossi's VR46 team would ever step up to MotoGP, and would it do so with a manufacturer other than Yamaha? The 2021 rider market remains in focus, as does the prospect of Andrea Dovizioso winning the title for Ducati on his way through the exit door. Will the Italian's experience punish the inconsistency of the rest? Repsol Honda's position at the BOTTOM of the teams' standings is in the firing line, while there's also an explanation for KTM's "return to normality" after the highs of recent races. And Simon provides some numbers on how much faster the closed-up field is going in 2020 even without Marc Marquez on the grid.
