2018 Sepang

Surprise win thwarted

Sepang has never been a Yamaha track and 2018 was one to forget for Rossi and Yamaha, so when the 39-year-old rode off at the penultimate race of the year everyone was stunned. He even held off the advances of Marc Marquez until a tiny error robbed fans of the chance of what was shaping up to be a monumental battle.
