The Misano World Circuit in Italy is particularly dear to Yamaha for a number of reasons. At the track on the Rimini Coast, Fabio Quartararo was able to clinch the 2021 MotoGP Championship the year before.
Misano also served as the venue for the home race of longtime Yamaha frontrunner Valentino Rossi, and the impending retirement ceremony that he will be attending in 2021 added even more intensity to the race weekend.
This year, the members of the bLU cRU will, once again, have to fight back tears. Andrea Dovizioso, a veteran of MotoGP who has competed in the championship for the past 14 years and is currently a rider for WithU Yamaha RNF, has announced that he will retire from the Grand Prix race series after the 2022 San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix.
Fabio Quartararo, the defending champion and the rider who leads the rider standings at the moment, will be in the thick of another title run while Dovi will be riding off into the sunset following his final home race.
Yamaha would gladly accept any and all support it can obtain, and the company will provide loyal members of Team Blue with a unique ticket package in an effort to bolster support.
On Sunday, September 4, 2022, the bundle will include admittance to the Misano World Circuit for the day of the event, which will take place on Saturday, September 3, 2022. In addition, faithful Yamaha customers will receive a “Blue Racing Kit,” which includes a Yamaha Racing t-shirt as well as a branded tote bag.
Every single buyer of the premium package will be able to experience the sights and sounds of the qualifying session on Saturday and the race on Sunday from the portion of the track reserved exclusively for Yamaha fans (Grandstand A).
Adult tickets are priced at €205 (about $210 USD), and attendees have the option of purchasing a kid pass for an extra €10 (approximately $10 USD). Importantly, a parking pass for your vehicle or motorcycle that is good for the entire weekend will be included with every purchase.
Quartararo is hoping that the Yamaha loyalists can provide him with the much-needed boost he needs to be given that Aleix Espargaro of Aprilia is only 22 points behind him and Pecco Bagnaia of Ducati is on a mid-season push.
At the Italian round of the 2022 MotoGP Championship, he might not be in a position to clinch the title, but there is no doubt that he will want to put on a show for all of the fans of the brand.
