Six-time MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi has once again proved that he is one of the best motorcycle racers of all time as he nabbed his fifteenth consecutive podium finish at the Czech Grand Prix.
The Italian's third place finish at Brno was his fifteenth successive MotoGP podium finish, the second time he achieved such a feat in his career.
The last race wherein the 36-year-old did not stand on the podium was at the Aragon Grand Prix last year when he crashed out of the race on the fourth lap. This is by far, the second longest sequence of podium finishes that Rossi has achieved.
Check the list below for the record of successive podium finishes by a MotoGP/500cc class rider. It can be noted that Rossi is the only rider to have finished on the podium at fifteen or more successive premier-class grand prix races on more than one occasion.
