IN THE WIND P50 The Party Of A Lifetime I f you haven't seen the following video, it's worth checking out just how massive the party was when Valentino Rossi pulled into the pits at Valencia two weeks ago to call time on his 26-year Grand Prix career. The Italian great came home 10th in his final race, but judging from the party in the pits, you'd swear he'd won the world title! The joyous scenes give you an idea of just how big the guy is all over the world, but especially in Europe with the party signing "Oh, mama mama! Oh, mama mama! Do you know why my heart beats so? I saw Valentino! I saw Valentino!" Great scenes, the likes of which we'll likely never see again. CN MotoGP To Get New Docuseries On Amazon M otoGP will get its own docuseries on Amazon Prime Video in 2022. In the same vein as the hugely successful For- mula One Drive To Survive series on Netflix, the MotoGP equivalent, produced by The Mediapro Studio and in collaboration with MotoGP commer- cial rights holders Dorna, will see eight 50-minute episodes focusing on the 2021 season and the behind-the-scenes stories that ensured.
