When Valentino is doing close on 200 mph down the straight , head down that's the view from the front. I read somewhere one of his close friends is a graphic artist.
I'll bet Honda are still kicking themselves saying it's the team and machine not the rider
Yeah I'm still shocked by people who think Rossi is anything but the best. Last year Fiat Yamaha couldn't come up with a mechanical combination that could answer to the insane speeds of the Stoner Ducati on the straights, however, in almost every race Stoner would come off a straight in the lead only to be walked down by Rossi in the curves. Rossi is like a surgeon on any bike. It looks like this year either Ducati has lost the power advantage or Fiat Yamaha found the potion for getting the job done. Either way they always had the number one guy on their bike. With the exception of Edwards last year. The only sad part is that Lorenzo probably would've hada good chance at being a rookie Champion had he not suffered these current injuries. That guy is making miracles happen and can still barley walk on two feet. I guess it's best to just keep him on two wheels.

It's best at the end when he's charging down the straight.

Iwatched the race last night on Speed. When he lined up on the grid andI saw his lid, I fell out! He could start a new trend. Imagine pictures of your honey or kids plastered on your helmet for all to see...

I'm glad he's decided to stick around a few more years.
