Valentino is now useless other than as a food source. 
We are to find him, catch him, kill him, and make soup out of him.

Now, Valentino wants to drive a Formula One Ferrari. :o :o

Yesterday Rossi asked to the Ferrari's manager for another chance to do a test in a famous F1 Ferrari!  ;)

He wants to race in the F1 championship but the guys from MotoGP said he's getting old to do that. I do not believe the age is a problem, he's turning 31.  :-\


Justin

the F1 thing comes up from time to time.  It's great publicity for Formula 1, MotoGP, Ferarri, and Vale, too.
The term is "cross promotion"

Eddie Lawson tried something like that, did not turn out well.

But!!

Rossi is a legend in Italy, my niece went there as an exchange student. I told her if things got boring in a bar, to just blurt out Rossi's name.

She did that once, and said the bar immediately went CRAZY!!

I hope he drives the other cage guys into the ground. What a gifted rider.

Also, Rossi will be in Mexico in January 2010 for the opening International Rally Racing. He's gonna be driving a car if I'm not wrong.  8)

But how do we catch him??
It's not that difficult, the guy goes in circles a lot and comes in for cappuccino.
Also he pulls over for t-shirts and chickens.

Doesn't sound like your wrong. He has done a few Rally races in the past. And he had the choice a few years ago to go to F1 but chose to stay with bikes. It hasn't been a secret that he wants to go to car racing after his career is over in Moto GP.

I like him in rally cars.

I tend to doubt the f1 thing will happen
What amazing publicity for a team!
Vale wouldn't even need to be competitive.

He has contract with MotoGp till the end of 2010. People says he's gonna be too old to start a new career (F1 driver) in 2011.

You know what? I want to see him on the bikes only..... :)

Justin

the author needs to check his facts. I think it was eight GP titles on the 24th.
