Debating MotoGP's best and worst rider moves
About this episode
The episode discusses significant rider moves in MotoGP history and their impact on careers.
With MotoGP on an unscheduled spring break, we figured it was time to revisit the modern-era history of blockbuster rider moves - particularly those that dramatically changed careers, for better or worse. Can anything top Valentino Rossi's Yamaha pivot? And did he stay a Yamaha rider too long? And how should history really judge Ducati's big-money move for Jorge Lorenzo? This and more - much more - in our latest episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.
