Morbidelli: Honesty, selfishness and proving your worth

Franco Morbidelli is a smooth talker in the best way. Honest and thoughtful about exactly what he says and how, we sat down with the 2020 MotoGP™ runner up to delve a bit deeper: proving your worth when you’ve arrived from a pretty different path to the top, his mission to get a full factory bike and stepping up, being selfish in your career (and whether you need to be), as well as the role of an athlete with an audience as big as that of MotoGP™. Oh and, how he speaks such impeccable English and, of course, our five quickfire questions. Top tip: his dinner party is one you wouldn’t want to miss!Have a listen, enjoy, and remember to get in touch with your thoughts, questions and answers of the week with #MotoGPPodcast.
