The upcoming weekend between Friday 4 and Sunday 6 March will coincide with the start of the MotoGP season, which will finally get underway on the Losail track, in Qatar. Waiting for the green light on the new 2022 season, the reigning world champion Fabio Quartararo anticipated the event which occurred at Lusail Iconic Stadiumin order to give a curious ‘kick-off’ to the world championship in the presence of Francesco Bagnaia and of the 2020 sample Joan Mir. The three riders, who showed up on their bikes in a football stadium, and not on the track, reached the venue of the 2022 World Cup final in the company of Cafùformer full-back of the Brazilian national team, twice world champion.
The former player from Rome and Milan, who reached the plant riding a BMW M 1000 RR, subsequently took to the field with the three drivers, all dressed as footballers and with the jerseys of their respective national teams. In this way, Quartararo, Bagnaia and Mir were the first to have stepped on the green rectangle above which the World Cup will be awarded, for the first time in history during the winter period. “This is my first time playing in a professional stadium – commented Quartararo after an unprecedented football match against his competitors in which he could not refrain from emulating the characteristic exultation of Cristiano Ronaldo – it’s really nice, and we had fun with Pecco and Joan, it’s a good way to start the GP. I feel strong, and I think I am fit to fight for a good result. To be honest, we lost some polish on the dry lap, but I was very consistent on the race pace. We can always improve, but we hope to have the same pace in this GP ”.

The words of the French were followed by those of Bagnaiaeager to be able to see the Azzurri to be able to compete for the title in the same stadium visited today: “I enjoyed myself – he added – It would be nice to always have pre-events like this, and I would like to see Italy in the final at this stadium, it would be fantastic. I feel ready for the season, more than last year. The feeling with the bike and with the team is great and I think we have the potential to do a great job. I think we can fight for the victory ”. He also reserved a comment Joan Mirimpressed by the Lusail Iconic Stadium: “I had a lot of fun – added the Spanish – qhis place is incredible, before the World Cup it is something special. Soccer is something I like to practice, even if I don’t train a lot. Hope to come back when the World Cup is here. Every year I take a step forward in physical condition and experience, this is really important. I am young and I have room to improve. I have trained a lot and am ready. I’m ready to enjoy the season ”.
