Re: Charley Boorman: `Rossi is the king´

they're obviously struggling for stories on motogp.com.

the rest of the weeks headlines:

Brad Pitt: 'I like motorbikes'.
Tom Cruise: 'Motorbike racing is fun and exciting.'
Marco Melandri: 'I've always liked the color green.'
Sylvain Guintoli: 'Britain is my second home.'
Valentino Rossi: 'For sure, now I am on holiday.'
Dani Pedrosa: 'Alberto is like a nepotistic uncle to me.'
John Hopkins: 'Casey's wife is HOT!'

Re: Charley Boorman: `Rossi is the king´

Does anyone know this helmet?

OK, fine. It was a trick question.
However, do you know what new F1 racer he drove?

Re: Charley Boorman: `Rossi is the king´

Valentino Rossi began the first of two days of testing with the Ferrari F2008 on Thursday, his first drive with the Formula 1 machine in nearly three years. The Italian may not have been familiar with the latest model of the car, but the location was one that he knows like the back of his hand; the Mugello circuit in Italy where he has been unbeatable in the premier class since 2002.

thats from an article i read, but thats the only description of the car given

So it happens that Ferrari team chef told media that Rossi would be good enough for a top 10 finish as of now. With training he might be top 5 material.

Re: Charley Boorman: `Rossi is the king´

from what i gather Rossi didnt like the F1 ride, he said he felt too confined, and the fact that he couldnt put his foot down everytime he stopped probably made him uncomfortable as well.
when he retires from the bike i am betting he will take up WRC full time for a while. he enjoys it more and seems more comfortable in the rally car than he does with the electronically driven F1 car.
