  1. Why am I not surprised. Valentino Rossi may be a motorcycle racing Legend, but he doesn't let that limit his abilities a as motor racing enthusiast and is always open to other forms of the sport.
    2 wheels or 4.
    As long as he doesn't jeopardize his moto gp season or career by letting anything silly happen endangering his fitness (last years unnecessary motocross adventure which gave him a damaged shoulder), he may have a go at anything and everything he wants) us 'Tifosi' don't mind. : D

    Coming to think of it, the way the previous 2 seasons in moto-gp have turned out to be for him , which is a pity. It would be sensible to try out new forms of motorsports and try his talent at, in consideration of the future. Although everyone would wish the Master stays with moto gp for as long as possible , when the time comes, hope he takes that Crown with him. Fingers crossed.x
