A superb and rare image of the absolutely magnificent Valentino Rossi on his MotoGP Honda RC211V Grand Prix racer, photographed during the 2003 Brazilian MOTOGP race, which was ridden on the circuit of Rio de Janeiro.

 

Valentino Rossi needs no introduction, he is amongst the outmost successful motorcycle racers of all time, with 8 Grand Prix World Championships to his name. Following his father, the equally sympathetic and truly magnificent Graziano Rossi, Rossi started racing Grand Prix races in 1996 for Aprilia in the 125cc category and won his first World Championship the following year. From there, he moved up to the 250cc category with Aprilia and won the 250cc World Championship in 1999. He won the 500cc World Championship with Honda in 2001, the MotoGP World Championships (also with Honda) in 2002 and 2003, and continued his streak of back-to-back championships by winning the 2004 and 2005 titles after leaving Honda to join Yamaha, before regaining the title in 2008. Like his father, Valentino Rossi is loved by many fans worldwide for all the right reasons. His personality is as great as his riding style!
