Sunday at 20.00 (Italian time) finally shares the championship. The tests that took place in recent months have exposed a Honda that looks like a fantastic step higher than the Yamaha and Ducati. Many have already branded as a failed marriage Rossi-Ducati often because Vale has completed the test in the back ... but these people forget that one thing is a ranking of the fastest lap and another one is the grand prize. The race lasts 22 laps and then not always win the fastest ever, but what I can to have the e-bike-tire package better ....
Valentino Rossi in Qatar has already won three times: in 2005 and 2006 when he ran in the afternoon and last year (instead of running the race at night) all riding a Yamaha, let's remember these three successes.
2005
In 2005, Qatar is the third last race of the season and Rossi come, with the title already in pocket of a World Champion. Vale wants to win but because they are already two races that do not win (which has never happened that year) and also wants to erase the bad memory of 2004 where in Qatar was the star of a fall during a comeback from the bottom of the grid . The new MotoGP World Champion wins in the end in front of compatriot Marco Melandri, with whom he waged a fierce battle in the second half until the last lap of the race. Third on the podium, the American Nicky Hayden author of a race head, although out of contention for the win fast enough. Colin Edwards for the fourth time that goes to swell the score for the home of three tuning forks. Unlucky fifth place for Sete Gibernau, author of a good performance, leading the race up to more than half of that, before a mistake that has dragged through the sand of the Qatar circuit, while inpegnato in a challenge with team mate Melandri.
"What a race for me was the best of the season - Rossi said - I got fue great rivals, everyone has given 100% and it was a fantastic battle. Marco tried to overtake on the last lap but I resisted and won. I am very, very happy. "
2006
The following season the Qatar Grand Prix is \u200b\u200bthe second meeting scheduled in the MotoGP calendar. It comes to us after the disastrous Grand Prix that Sapgna saw him get just 14 to finish due to a fall in the street hit by Toni Elias. It is therefore in Qatar seeks redemption and seeks his 54th MotoGP victory that would make for Mick Doohan by number of wins in the premier class. Vale is imposed through a second stint with a perfectly timed run. After spending ten laps behind Honda Cecchinello Stoner (party rocket from the pole) That decided it was time to move past the Australian in the lead and then had to check attempts to restock Nicky Hayden (Honda) and Loris Capirossi (Ducati) that eventually completed the podium. Rossi crossed the line with just 0.9 cents is imposed on the American with third place while Capirossi confirms its leadership in the drivers' standings. Vale's victory was not obvious because the Yamaha was accused throughout the weekend chatter problems and in fact at the end Rossi said that "It 'was a great race - very hard, but for this very funny. Today my M1 worked really well. As the race entered the living adherence decreased, the chatter faded until it disappeared. This victory is certainly important for the championship but it's even more from a mental point of view, for me and for the team. It was windy but the grip was good and I could attack Stoner, who earlier had had a very strong. When the tires started to wear out the past and I thought I could stretch. Instead Nicky has stayed with me and stuck, when I saw that Loris was beginning to rise, I am a bit 'worried about the final laps. But then I pushed hard and managed to control them. It 's great to have reached a driver like Mick Doohan and Giacomo Agostini now just in front of me. Beat the record is not the most important thing but it certainly is a nice thing! It seems to me that my season has started now. Jerez was a nightmare but here we have taken! "
2010
Valentino Rossi takes Qatar. After three years of unchallenged domination of Casey Stoner, the Pesaro Yamaha signature victory in the first round of the 2010 World Championship, the MotoGP class. On the podium, even his team-mate Jorge Lorenzo, author of a furious comeback, and the excellent Andrea Dovizioso (Honda), fighting until the checkered flag with Nicky Hayden (Ducati) for third place. Rossi thanked gets rid of the Honda (the first of Pedrosa and Dovizioso to then), and takes home win number 104 in his career. After all the evidence pointed to Casey Stoner in the likely winner of the GP, because the Australian had stradominato all the evidence, and after a rocketing in a few laps from the pole was already two seconds ahead, but at some point to pull too closed on him before ending in the gravel. At that point, the battle rages between Rossi and Dovizioso is resolved in its favor in a handful of laps, taking 1.5 seconds margin from the group. In the final over Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo gets behind Rossi's Yamaha completing the double. The 'Doctor', which is imposed in the appointment debut for the first time since 2005 (also the first victory for him at night), then reach the pits on a tow truck. It looks like the same old gag but in reality his Yamaha finished gasoline shortly after crossing the finish line. It should be noted in the photo Lorenzo on the podium with the sunglasses ... in a race run at night: S
