The 2007 MotoGP Season Preview: Back with a Vengeance
With the official preseason testing at Jerez this weekend and the 2007 MotoGP championship taking off in two weeks at Qatar, Valentino Rossi is all geared up for his assault on the title he lost last year after half a decade of undisputed dominance. Toby Moody analyses the field and highlights the potential rivals and factors that could stand in the Italian's way...
Valentino Rossi.
That got your attention.
If you never had the pleasure of seeing the greatest motorcycle racer ever, then you'd better book a ticket to a MotoGP race some time soon. Rossi really is something else. Hey, MotoGP has even put on another race in Italy just to prove how bonkers it is over there!
There really is an aura around him that seems to connect with people, and that is why he is so massive on a galactic scale, reaching beyond the boundaries of the motorsport arena. The petrol-heads who have seen him and are in the know, are acutely aware that he won the 2004 and 2005 titles on a bike that was probably not the best one out there. That was certainly the case for 2004, anyway.
