Congratulations

Congratulations to Valentino Rossi, for winning his 6th MotoGP title at the weekend (his 8th in total, including his 125cc and 250cc titles)!

The word legend is banded about all to often these days and few are truly deserving of the honour. Rossi however, is the true epitome of legendness.

Not only has the man dominated top-flight motorcycling for almost a decade, not only did he decide to leave the comfort zone he had at Honda to drag an under-performing Yamaha to the top, he also retains not only a great sense of humour but a lot of humility. Valentino is a genius.

His track record is stunning. One year in a series to work it out, and the title in the second year and onwards.

In 1996 Rossi made his 125cc debut. He won the title in 1997.

In 1998 Rossi made his 250cc debut. He won the title in 1999.

In 2000 Rossi made his 500cc debut, guess what? he won the title in 2001 (the final year of the 500s). He won the first 990cc MotoGP championship in 2002 (add 2003, 2004 and 2005 to that) and now he has his first 800cc title.


Valentino Rossi - 6 times MotoGP champion, and a nice bloke. Well done sir.
