Yamaha rider Valentino Rossi will be keen to secure his maiden win of the 2020 season by clinching the
San Marino Grand Prix on September 13.
The Italian legend has won three San Marino Grand Prix titles, a record which he shares with Spanish duo of Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo.
Rossi has endured a poor season as he finished ninth at the recent Styrian Grand Prix and he has been inconsistent.

KTM's Miguel Oliviera walked away victorious after clinching the Styrian Grand Prix title last month.
Ducati rider Jack Miller finished second and Pol Espargaró of KTM managed to secure a third-place finish.
Yamaha rider Fabian Quartararo is sitting at the top of the riders' standings followed by Ducati duo of Andrea Dovizioso and Miller respectively.
Rossi is now placed seventh on the riders' standings and a victory at the San Marino Grand Prix will see him move closer to the top three.

The 41-year-old has explained why Yamaha are struggling and he compared his team with Suzuki.
"For me the Suzuki is faster because they have more grip in acceleration. When they open the throttle they are able to exit the corner in a better way than us," Rossi said.
"We spin more. For me this is our big weak point. We try to improve but we always suffer about this and also this track is not fantastic."
Yahama are sitting at the top of the Manufacturers' Championship standings with 88 points.
Ducati and KTM are placed second and third with 87 and 82 points respectively on the standings.
