Simone Corsi
Simone Corsi (born 24 April 1987) is an Italian Grand Prix motorcycle sporting director, and former rider. Born in Rome, Corsi has been racing in motorcycle world championships for twenty years, amassing over 300 races, 5th all-time, behind only Valentino Rossi, Andrea Dovizioso, Aleix Espargaró and Loris Capirossi. He most recently competed in the Supersport World Championship for Ducati, and currently serves as the sporting director for Forward Racing in Moto2.
Corsi's first Grand Prix race was in the 125cc category, in 2002 at Mugello, and riding a Honda RS125R he finished the race in 22nd. From the following year on, he would compete regularly in the world championship's levels.
In 2003, Corsi rode a Honda for Scot Racing Team, along with teammate Andrea Dovizioso. He achieved nine point scoring finishes, a season's best result of 9th in two races, and finished 19th in the final standings with 32 points.
In the following year he improved, finishing in the points ten times, finishing in the top-10 four times, and scoring his first podium with a 3rd place in Japan, with Dovizioso winning the race. Corsi ended the season 13th in the final standings with 61 points, while his teammate Dovizioso won the World Championship title with 293 points.
For 2005, both Corsi and Dovizioso moved up to 250cc, but were now riding different bikes. Corsi had a good first half of the year, as he finished in the points in seven of the eight races. However, in the second half's eight races he finished in the points only once, ending the season 14th in the standings, with 59 points.
Corsi returned to the 125cc class for 2006 with Gilera, but he fell short of an impressive season, two fourth places were the best results of his year, and he finished 12th in the championship, with 79 points.
In 2007, Corsi won his first Grand Prix race at the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul, and finished 3rd in Mugello. Corsi ended the season 6th in the standings, with 168 points, both being career high totals so far.
For 2008, Corsi received a factory spec Aprilia RSA 125 and he was seen as a title favourite for the year. Corsi won races in Jerez, Estoril, Mugello, and the season closer in Valencia, and also finished 3rd in Assen, Rimini, and Sepang, but ultimately finished 2nd in the championship with 225 points, 39 points behind the Derbi of Mike Di Meglio, who also won four races himself, winning the title.
