Valentino Rossi won the Australian Grand Prix MotoGP race at Phillips Island today, and became the 2004 World Champion for the fourth time in a row...after switching from Honda to the previously uncompetitive Yamaha this year.
In an incredible display that demonstrates that the human factor matters most of all, he led from the second lap on.
And as I've noted before, he's revitalized the sport with his simple enjoyment of it. Something we all need to bring to work with us...a little more joy in what we do.
yeah he is great! but i am afraid there's the risk he will turn the MotoGP like Schumacher turned F1 because of his domination. Unless he starts driving F1 cars. He already experimented a Ferrari F1.
Hey, wait a moment! 'Il dottore' may have a successor:
Here he comes the Catalan biker Daniel Pedrosa, the 250cc world champion, who yesterday won that championship, at the age 19, even younger that Valentino Rossi when he won it..
Unlike Shuey, Vale has proven himself on two marques - the Yamaha was considered a no-hoper until he got on it. Not forgetting the magic of Jeremy Burgess as well.
