A few weeks ago, ahead of Valentino Rossi’s (Petronas Yamaha SRT) final MotoGP™ race at the Valencia GP, motogp.com asked fans to explain why the nine-time World Champion was their hero via social media. Living life with a smile is one of Rossi’s greatest teachings.”. I started watching MotoGP when I was four or five, I saw he is one of the faster racers and all eyes looking at the number 46, which is him. Also because of Vale I started learning how to speak Italian, hopefully I’ll be fluent one day. “I was four years old when I watched my first race thanks to my father. Over time I continued to follow this sport every Sunday and “the yellow bike” began to have a name. That name was Valentino Rossi and it’s only thanks to him that I now follow this competition.
