Yup. All time favorite. I went to Misano in 2018, just to see him at his home race and feel the vibe. I went to Tavullia, to his VR46 Boutique and Restaurant, and outside of VR46 Academy. Sad day at my house...

Really wanted him to do a year with a good ducati. What really ruins f1 and motogp for me and why I don't watch it nearly as close as i use to is the spec tire rule. I liked the spec ecu in motogp cause it keeps the private teams closer to the works bikes but i feel the spec tire has ruined these sports more then it helped. Let's build million dollar bikes and cars and hamper them with tires that are not up to snuff.

Sad day with vale leavin.

The pavement GOAT! Sad, sad day. The switch to Yamaha after riding the all conquering Honda and then winning in the 1st year,

One of the all time Motorsport greats.
Great rider, and also a great personality for us to enjoy.

Bravo Mr. Rossi

What an enormous career. All I can picture is Rossi stalking someone with Vitamin C playing in the background

That pass on Stoner in the corkscrew is an one of my all-time favorite moments in racing. I remember just not believing what I saw. Nobody was more fun to watch.

I was at Mugello in 1997, his first home win (125 class). I knew he was fast as it was his third win out of 4 races that year, but he was still just a lid with promise. The next year I saw him win on the 250 in Imola. Never saw him win in person on a 500/MotoGP bike, unless he pulls off a miracle in Austin this year.

So many great memories.

I was there that day. My first and only MotoGP event, and THAT happened. Woohoo
