For fans of Rossi and Biaggi rivalry this competition should prove to be quite interesting with Rossi leading the Sky VR46 team, and Biaggi the Schedl GP team. The 2019 Sky Racing Moto3 team, featuring Dennis Foggia and Celestino Vietti Ramus is sure to create an exciting challenge for Biaggi and Canet.
