Valentino Rossi scheduled for 400th Grand Prix start At the Australian Grand Prix, Valentino Rossi is scheduled to become just the first rider in the 70-year history of motorcycle Grand Prix racing to reach the milestone of 400 GP starts. Below are a collection of statistics relating to Rossi’s long career in Grand Prix racing:

Riders Starts 500cc/MotoGP™ 350cc 250cc/Moto2™ 125cc/Moto3™ 80cc/50cc

1 Valentino Rossi 399 339 30 30 2 Loris Capirossi 328 217 84 27 3 Andrea Dovizioso 310 212 49 49 4 Dani Pedrosa 295 217 32 46 5 Jorge Lorenzo 294 200 48 46 6 Tom Lüthi 283 18 83 198 67 7 Jack Findlay 282 157 34 6 2 8 Alex Barros 276 245 14 17 9 Alvaro Bautista 274 158 49 67 10 Simone Corsi 273 178 95 11 Hector Barbera 267 139 81 47 12 Alex De Angelis 265 61 139 65 13 Angel Nieto 265 1 16 160 88 14 Bruno Kneubühler 264 71 46 52 86 9 15 253 140 80 33

He has taken part in 399 of the 939 Grand Prix events staged since the start of the World Championship series back in 1949. This means that he has taken part in 42.5% of all Grand Prix events.

He has finished in a point-scoring position a record 353 times in the 399 GP races that he has started.

Rossi has won GP races on seven different motorcycles: 125cc Aprilia, 250cc Aprilia, 500cc Honda, 990cc Honda, 990cc Yamaha, 800cc Yamaha and 1000cc Yamaha.

He is the only rider to have won on 500cc two-stroke, 990cc four-stroke and 800cc four-stroke and 1000cc four-stroke machines.

During his career Rossi has competed at 38 different Grand Prix circuits. Of these 38 circuits, he has taken at least one GP win at 29 of them. No other rider in the history of motorcycle Grand Prix racing has won at as many different circuits as Rossi. His closest rival is Mick Doohan with 24.

The circuits at which Rossi has had most GP wins is Catalunya and Assen, where he has won 10 times at each of them.

The circuits at which Rossi has made most Grand Prix appearances are Jerez and Brno, where he has made 24 GP starts across the three classes.

Rossi’s victory at the Dutch TT back in 2017, 20 years and 311 days after his first GP win in the 125 class at Brno in 1996, made him the rider with the longest winning career across all classes.

Alex Marquez could clinch the Moto2™ title at Phillip Island At the Australian Grand Prix, Alex Marquez has the chance to clinch his second world title and his first in Moto2™ – the 11th for a Spanish rider in the intermediate category.

Tom Lüthi, Augusto Fernandez, Jorge Navarro, Brad Binder and Luca Marini are now his only rivals. In any case, he has to finish on the podium and the most likely scenarios to give Alex Marquez the title are as follows:

If Marquez wins the race, he will be champion if Lüthi does not finish better than 5th and Fernandez does not finish better than 3rd,

If Marquez finishes 2nd, he will be champion if Lüthi does not finish better than 10th, Fernandez does not finish better than 5th and Navarro and Binder do not win the race,
