The Last Stand For Rossi’s Chainsaw-Wielding Fans

The Last MotoGP Home Outing For Valentino Rossi’s Chainsaw Fans

Because yes, they show up to MotoGP races with chainsaws. The high (or low) point for Rossi’s supporters in the MotoGP World Championship was during the openly hostile 2016 title fight. Italian rider’s rivals Marc Márquez and Jorge Lorenzo were given bodyguards during that season’s Italian Grand Prix weekend to protect the riders from any potential incident with Rossi’s fans. Thankfully, no altercation took place between the fans and rival riders.

It is unclear what these fans will do after the 2021 season. A team owned by Valentino Rossi will enter MotoGP for the 2022 season. Despite Rossi’s ownership, one of the team’s riders being his half-brother and being based in his hometown, it won’t be clear if the Italian icon’s fervent support will carry over to Racing Team VR46 until their first race in Italy.

Daniel Ricciardo Won A Bet To Drive An Ex-Dale Earnhardt Stock Car At COTA, Everyone Wins

Just a few weeks after his race victory, Ricciardo will step onboard the Wrangler-sponsored Chevy in the run up to the United States Grand Prix next weekend at Circuit of the Americas. The car, which raced in 1984 as The Intimidator’s first season with Richard Childress Racing, was winning races five years before Ricciardo was even born.

As a fan of both Ricciardo and Earnhardt, I’m very much looking forward to seeing this pairing come together at COTA. I’ll be attending the race, and was already stoked to heck, but this adds just another layer of awesome to the trip. Let’s go!
