Simone Corsi (born 24 April 1987) is an Italian Grand Prix motorcycle sporting director, and former rider.

He most recently competed in the Supersport World Championship for Ducati,[2] and currently serves as the sporting director for Forward Racing in Moto2.

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.

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.

For 2009, it had been speculated that Corsi would ride for the Scot Honda team in 250cc's, but he continued in 125cc with Aprilia, in one last hope of winning the World Championship.

Altogether, Corsi had an average year, scoring no podiums, his season's best results were two 4th places in Germany and San Marino, and finished 12th overall in the rider's championship, with 86 points.

He had a similar incident with Nakagami in Brno that year as in Austin, but this time Corsi receiving a ride-through penalty for dangerous riding.

His poor performances led to Tasca Racing replacing him with ex-teammate Mattia Pasini from the Brno round onwards, after the summer break.

Corsi made his return to MV Agusta Forward Racing for the 2020 season, partnering Stefano Manzi, and continued declining in his performances.

Partnered by Lorenzo Baldassarri at Forward for the 2021 Moto2 World Championship, Corsi started the year off in the worst way possible, a high-side in the opening round of Qatar, resulting in a compound fracture in his left wrist.

He finished 9th in Le Mans, 10th in Aragon, and 13th in Austin, and the following weekend in Misano saw Corsi start his 300th career race, becoming only the 5th rider after Loris Capirossi, Valentino Rossi, Andrea Dovizioso, and Thomas Lüthi to achieve this feat.

[12] The year was a major disappointment, with Corsi failing to score a point and he and Ramirez were never really looking competitive because of a bike with not many upgrades and tensions between Forward Racing and MV Agusta (now being bought by KTM) with Corsi being replaced by Álex Escrig, ending his long career in Grand Prix racing.

It was later announced that Corsi would be retained by MV Agusta as a coach and test rider, with the possibility of doing some wild card rides both on the European and the World championships.
