Now that everything is over it can be said: without a bit of that bad luck that haunted him in certain races, Franco Morbidelli he could have. The ‘fourth’ Yamaha, the one nobody considered earlier in the year, could have won the world title. At the end of the Portuguese GP in Portimao, closed by the ‘Morbido’ in third place, there were only 13 points that separated the local driver Petronas from the final success. A fourth place away. Very little would have been enough to reverse the final result, stripping the title from Mir and Suzuki to direct it towards the Roman rider and the Petronas team Yamaha. Morbidelli, however, has taken away the satisfaction, proving to be more than worthy of a factory bike, regardless of the team.

“The season has been fantastic – declared at the end of the race to the microphones of Sky Sport MotoGP – at the beginning of the year I felt like Yamah’s fourth forcea – Morbidelli admitted with sincerity – I’m not saying I thought I had been left out, but having a different bike made me feel a bit disabled. We focused all this anger on working with the team and it paid off. I have a special relationship with Ramon Forcada – He added again, after the third place today behind Oliveira and Miller – I was lucky to always work with fantastic team leaders, but this year everything went well with Forcada. Let’s get revenge and we got great satisfaction “ He concluded.
Next year the direct confrontation with Valentino rossi, in the same box and with the same bike. On this occasion, nobody will think of his M1 as the ‘fourth’ motorcycle of the Iwata house and, in fact, Morbidelli was able to show that he deserves the rank of captain right in front of who – in addition to being a friend – was also his teacher on two wheels.
