Urbino-born rider Valentino Rossi, Italy February 16, 1979 was a racer at Grandprix motor racing world after the era Michael Doohan with a title of world champion in four different classes which she won a seven-year career. Son of former 250cc GP racer Graziano Rossi, and Stefania Palma has had a lot of records and achievements that go beyond the senior. Total racer this eccentric booked seven world titles: once in the 125cc class, once in the 250cc class, five times in the top class, 500cc and Moto GP.
In his career along the GP Rossi always wore the number 46, he wore the number after watching the action of a Japanese wildcard racer numbered 46 in TV that impressed him. Moreover, the number is also used by Graziano Rossi, father, when it won the first race with Morbidelli 1979. Currently, he is still wearing the number 46 kebanggaanya it and did not follow the world champion, former world champion who chose to change the number 1 after getting the title of world champion.
When I first joined the 500cc Gp team with ex Doohan headed by an Australian reliable mechanic named Jerremy Burgess, paddock atmosphere strongly influenced temperament temperamental Doohan. All the mechanics and team staff looked serious and likely stressful. This atmosphere makes Rossi is determined to celebrate when a massive win. Since then, the victory party became his trademark. Not just with friends, as well as thousands of supporters who packed the circuit. He also conducts Action "wheelie" and "burnout" if victorious and often provide "kneepad" or the hat to the fans to throw while on the podium.
In his racing career, Rossi was always changing the nickname and do things that attract attention and entertain. He reasoned that it was all done with the intention of having fun and doing something funny. "Rossifumi", the nickname given by his friend Rossi Rossi during race in the 125cc class. The nickname was created because Rossi impressed with the typical Japanese racer with long hair, Norick Abe. In 2004, Rossi and Abe are both defending Yamaha. Rossi was in the team Gauloises Fortuna Yamaha Team, while Abe in Fortuna Gauloises Tech 3 Yamaha Team.
"Valentinik", the nickname is derived from the cartoon "Daffy Duck" is a "superhero" in Italy named Paperinik. The nickname was wearing at the time of the race in the 250cc class. Another nickname is "The Doctor" after his ride in the 500cc class at the 2000 season. At the end of 2003 season before the 2004 season, Valentino Rossi made the decision to migrate from the manufacturer team Honda, Repsol Honda HRC. He chose to join the Yamaha team last won the world championship in 1992 by racer Wayne Rainey. Rossi did not move to Yamaha team alone, he also brought Jerremy Burgess, head of the mechanics who used to deal with Doohan and Criville. They conducted a series of tests to fix the motor technologies owned by Rossi's Yamaha YZR M1 to be able to rival the strongest motors in the Moto GP at the time, owned Honda RC211V.
Regarding the move, many are not expected and pessimistic that Rossi will be able to defend the champion title. But he dispelled all these pessimistic views. Even in the first series 2004 season in the GP Welkom, South Africa, he beat Max Biaggi riding a Honda motorcycle, albeit with a very tight fight with the latter driving a Yamaha motorcycle was on the podium in 1992. In 2004 and 2005, becoming world champion Rossi with Yamaha and became the first Yamaha rider won the most in a season (9-time champion on the 2005 season.)
