Rossi blows by like a Boss!!!

Just when you think you are fast and tearing it up, Rossi blows by like you're parked.
Love Rossi. 46 is the man.
Even though he isn't winning championships, he's still fighting and still the legend everyone respects. Hope you enjoy that little perspective of his level of super powers on a bike.

X2.
But...the end of this season would be a good time to hang up his helmet, enjoy his race team and retire while he is mainly injury free.
I don't think he is short of a $$.

Many years ago, I don't know like 6/7 yrs ago, my brother's friend ( a Moto GP fanatic ) bought a pre owned "The Doctor" JLC Master Compressor Extreme with Alarm from a Chinese dealer. That's the 0ne advertised in my local watch forum. The Doctor is THE most successful rider on the Shell Sepang Moto GP track. He has like what ? Six 1st podium wins and the first human to complete the circuit under 2 minutes (need to check the figures again ). He still has the biggest loyal VR fan base in Malaysia.Such a down to earth person and never refused any autograph request before.There was a story of a Malay man who had a fractured leg on a wheelchair, came to see Rossi during a Sepang GP promo tour in a shopping mall in KL but there were rows and rows of fans in front of him and the poor man couldn't see anything only screaming fans standing and some jumping. Rossi was on a podium when he suddenly saw the man so far behind. What did Rossi do ? He jumped off the stage into the surprised crowd, forced his way through, fans pushing him back and forth, went right up to the shocked speechless man on the wheelchair, signed his T Shirt, gave him his cap and something else ( I don't know what it was ) and took some selfies and wefies, whatever you want to call it. That's Valentino Rossi for you....!!!

He never really got that Ducati to work right for him. Too bad too, I hoped he would bring success to my favorite team.

Gotta love VR46 for all he's done for the sport! He's got heart like there's no tomorrow and he can still back it up on track on any given Sunday. So glad he signed to end of 2020!

Great story meaganfox. I'm hoping to meet him one day and more importantly, see him race.
