Going Home

Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli is a special place for Valentino Rossi. Not only is it a short drive from his home town of Tavullia, but it bears the name of another local MotoGP rider, Rossi’s good friend Marco Simoncellli.
For my part I can only imagine what it must be like to come home to this circuit and have so many reminders of Marco. When I went to Misano in 2012, there were photos of Marco on signs and billboards all around the circuit.
Marco grew up in Coriano which is even closer to the circuit than Tavullia. For spectators, the circuit itself is a reminder of Marco’s contributions to MotoGP. For the riders, and especially for Rossi, it must be much more than that.
