Andrea Iannone

Yes.

The race in which Andrea Iannone cruelly stole the 2015 championship from Valentino Rossi.

Blasphemy.

Blasphemy.

I mean, this thing is so intense and it's unbelievable.

Pole position for the first time to local lad Andrea Iannone on a Ducati, which is another local product.

Jorge Lorenzo was second on the grid for Yamaha and another Ducati rider, Andrea Dovizioso, started third.

Man from Mallorca, Jorge Lorenzo, went on to win his third successive race of the season and also number 36 of his career and is now only six points behind his teammate, the doctor, Valentino Rossi, who came in third.

Yeah, and they've done a good job of attracting, uh, a number of riders that have really cool stories and/or that were formerly quite big names.

Andrea Iannone is, uh, one of the riders from MotoGP, uh, in prominence who ended up getting banned for, uh, doping and then- Uh, came back in World Superbike and is now racing on a bagger in the Bagger World Cup, and he's just a really interesting character.

He's nicknamed The Maniac.

He's a pretty beloved rider as much as people are like...

And then a 19-year-old kid, you know, just walks out from Australia who's [laughs] never been to any of these racetracks before and starts laying down some of the fastest times that we've ever seen.

You know, you've got some incredible champions, Oscar Gutierrez, Eric Granado, and a few other known names that are out there that have great stories and backgrounds about what they've done in their championship and their fight to go towards the series.

You know, r- early in the season we signed a former MotoGP rider with Andrea Iannone, and bringing that level of, of experience, that level of popularity, that level of controversy, y- you know, to the series, and his, his ride and rise through the Bagger World Cup.

You know, showing up at his home round in Mugello and winning the second race in front of a home crowd, I mean, it was an incredible story.

And we saw, you know, 2015 comes around and all of a sudden the first bike he truly wanted that was truly his, was a success.

Andrea Iannone wins.

I think Andrea Dovizioso won that year as well.

No, that was 2016.

It was here in 2009 that Rossi took one of the greatest wins in MotoGP history over another local hombre, Jorge Lorenzo.

Lorenzo was taken down in Sunday's race by Andrea Iannone.

Marquez leads the championship with 125 points.

Lorenzo is second with 115 points.

So Eric was all in to try and beat him.

But then as if we'd written the script, the fucking crazy one, Andrea Iannone, took Granato out.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Both of them ended up in the gravel trap.
