Valentino Rossi is one of the best racers in the history of the world. In September, I went to Indy to see the first MotoGP race at Indy. Last weekend, he won the race at Motegi, confirming that he has won his 6th MotoGP Title and his 8th World Chamionship overall. Funny enough his current winning percentage is 46%, which is his race number. If he wins this weekend in Australia, he will bump up his ratio to 50%.
I am continually amazed by his skill, sense of humor, and dedication to his sport. He is the Michael Schumacher of the MotoGP world. In fact Valentino Rossi, once tested a Formula 1 Ferrarri and came just seconds to Schumacher's time! During his break from the MotoGP he will drive a rally car, his other favorite past time, in the Wales GB Rally.

P.S. Would someone please buy me a Rally car? I swear I'll drive it nicely if all the trees stay out of my way.
