Luca Marini - Route to MotoGP
Brother of MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, Marini had the eyes of the world watching when he made his grand prix debut as a wild-card in the Moto3 class at his home Misano round in 2013.
Unfortunately for Marini, who shares the same mother as Rossi, his race ended with an accident at the very first turn.
Two years later Marini again lined up at Misano as a wild-card, this time in the Moto2 class, reaching the finish in 21st place.
Signing with the Forward team for a full 2016 campaign, Marini finally began to show his talent with a sixth place in Germany, raising his best result to fourth the following year.
But the real breakthrough came with a move to the VR46 team in 2018, where a run of three mid-season podiums was followed by a first grand prix win at Sepang, in a season that saw team-mate Francesco Bagnaia clinch the title.
