Rossi, second in Great Britain

Posted by Car Magazine MotorPlay under Motorsport, News

Some of us find it funny, some of us find it ungentlemanly. Some find it weird, and some find it simply unprofessional. But none of us can ignore the drive The Doctor has had for all of his motoring life. Valentino Rossi has managed to identify himself to motorcycling in such a way that he simply dominates the sport. And the races all revolve around him like nothing else matters.

When he wins, the world rejoices with him. And when he loses, the world does not shed a tear, but waits for the next race, when The Doctor will have every chance to score again. In short, Valentino is for motorcycling what Jack Bauer is for the anti-terrorism war. An inspiration.

That’s the reason I’m so sorry for Casey Stoner, Pedrosa or anyone else competing with Rossi. It must be hard to know you’ll only be remembered as one of the pilots who raced in the Valentino Rossi era.

Results British Moto Grand Prix: Stoner, Rossi, Pedrosa, Edwards, Dovizioso and Lorenzo.
