Hopeful About the Valencia MotoGP Finale

A short time ago I stood on the tarmac at Losail with my buddy Tony Goldsmith and said, “Before we know it, we’ll be at Valencia and another season will have come and gone.” It only seems a short time ago of course, as that was in April. But in a couple of days we’ll […]
