MotoGP Rossi

This for anyone who doesn't know is Valentino Rossi. He is one of the best (possibly soon to be the best) MotoGP rider.

I started watching MotoGP quite a few years ago with my then boyfriend now husband. At that stage Rossi was not in the MotoGP races he was working his way up. He fought in the saddle against Max Biaggi and other such brilliant riders.

The reason I love Rossi is his determination, he never gives up. I have often watched a race where he starts from way back on the grid maybe 13th or even worse 21st. This is never an issue as a fan I don't watch and think 'oh no he doesn't stand a chance'. I watch and I think ok this is a race and sure enough by the end of the race he will have beaten all his rivals on the corners.

If there was ever a rider who understood how to use his breaks in a corner it is Rossi. Watching him go into a corner and not break until the last minute is fantastic. Last year against Casey Stoner he beat him fantasticly in a corner and in my opinion Stoner spat his dummy out of the pram. Stoner has a bike with great straight line speed but to win a MotoGP race you need more than raw speed.

So until the 12th of April in Qatar I cannot wait. 'COME ON ROSSI'
