Secret behind Valentino Rossi’s dominance in Italian MotoGP revealed

Valentino Rossi achieved remarkable success in Italian MotoGP — nine victories that made him the second most successful rider in Italian GP history after Giacomo Agostini.

The Doctor managed to secure seven consecutive victories at Mugello Circuit — an achievement that remains unmatched to this day.

Rossi’s success on Italian tracks is linked to his unique ability as an ambidextrous rider — capable of using both hands equally well despite being naturally left-handed. According to The Guardian, only one percent of the world’s population possesses this extraordinary ability.

Mugello Circuit with its challenging characteristics — nine right turns and six left turns, became the perfect arena for Rossi to showcase his superiority in mastering right-hand corners.
