MotoGP legend Valentino Roꦆssi comes into the penultimate race of his career aiming to pro🗹duce a similar result as Misano. 

Although Rossi was significantly aided by several riders crashing out whilst a🅠head of the 42 year-old, the Italian rider nonetheless came through to claim a first top ten in four races -  doing so in his final home race. 

However, this weekend could prove to be a much different challenge for the nine-time world champion, as previous showings at Portimao sug🍰gest he and Yaﷺmaha could face a tough weekend.

Since making it’s debut on the calendar ꦰtowards the end of last season, Rossi has failed to finish either of its two races inside the top ten.♐ A 12th last November was then followed up by a crash in this year’s opening Portimao race.

But while Portimao might not favor the Italian🌜 or his M1 as much as other tracks, Rossi is eager to ‘repeat’✃ his ‘great Misano result’. 

"Portimao is a difficult🥃 track and has some very ♉particular characteristics, which other circuits do not have," said Rossi. 

"The first of our two races there this year wasn’t too bad for us, as I was able to make my way through to be in the top-ten. Unfortunately I cr﷽ashed out though. 

"The tཧarget this weekend is to try to have a good race and to make our way towards the front. 

"I had a good feeling there before, especially on Sunday, so I hope that we canﷺ be competitive and repeat a great result like we did last time in Misano."
