1236 Italy, motorcycle world leaders

Hi out there
What about bike racing? Valentino Rossi World motorcycling champion for the past 5 years. James toesland (UK) world champion world superbikes on Ducati. There's more to sport in Italy than Serie A ( it is better than premireship though!) ;)

The guys a genius on a bike. I am looking forward to seeing him pick up the Trophy again this year at Valencia.

Hopefully next year I will be in Mugello :D

Hi ynot
Valentino should pick up the title in Japan he only has to finnish in front of max. That should get right up Honda's nose on their track! he has allready got more points than Melandri and Biaggi combined. I don't know what you think but he has to be the only racer to come up to the standards of Mike Hailwood.
How's the mille? have you been to Italy on it yet? Had a ducati 748 myself but sold it last year Here in North Wales police have trained sheep to use cameras! 32 mph and yer nicked, a nice pair of Termignomis and its life for you sonny

Rossi is a star, from Le Marche i think... Anyway, about those errrrm, photographs the Welsh sheep take... :o any errrm, Dodgy ones :o :eek:

Oh he'll be the champ well before Valencia, I just meant that it will just be the end of season party :D

The millie is going great, not been to Italia on her yet. May take her to Mugello next year unless I'm travelling up in the cage from Le Marche.

Vale is from Urbino I believe.

Agree with the Hailwood comment, did like his gesture during the previous GP "Sorry Mike". The thing is he's only 26. If he can keep 4 wheels on the ground (don't mention his attempt at rallying) I think he could do the Formula 1 championship too.

As George Orwell meant:- 4 wheels bad 2 wheels GOOD ;)

Nice to find some bike enthusiast here also. Although Mike the Bike was my boyhood idol and personally would place Agostini on the all time top with his 122 wins and 15 World Championships versus Hailwoods 76/9. If I recall correct, Rossi equalled Hailwood last week-end in the race wins.

Then we have a bit of a problem were to place Jarno Saarinen who was the first driver to threath Ago’s many years long reigning, but the unfortunate accident in Monza ended Jarnos life and career too soon. Despite the short succes of Jarno, several motor journalist, even british and as far as Down Under, consider him to be greatest. I’ve understood from some italians that he still is very famous and respected in Italy after all these years (F1 –driver
Trulli’s parents were his fans and gave their son the name Jarno).

Rossi is just fabolous with his bike and for sure will give us good show in the future also collecting new wins and titles.

sure ago had the impressive win record. But I think mike had the edge in versatility. Mv's Ducati, 250's 350's 500's and then that unbelievable comeback in the isle of man on the F1 Ducati, the year after senior winner on a RG500 ( got his autograph on TTprograme straight after)
