Default The Doctor

Its not every day you walk along the road and see Valentino Rossi in a car but it happened to me and the young bloke yesterday morning heading to the Moto GP at Phillip island. I ran for half a km to catch up to the car but I got the shot in the end lol. A quick shake of the hand and a "good luck Vale " and we were on our way. For a guy who must get hassled for photos all the time he was great. Thanks Vale !!!

Rossi is always entertaining to watch and seems like a genuinly nice guy.

Third place 'aint bad for a guy with a f*cked shoulder and a recently broken leg!

Of course he learnt a lot from me .............. .......

Nice pic Bordo

Thanks guys. It was certainly a day to remember. It makes it all worthwhile when you see the face on your ten year old at his first Moto GP. I think he thinks that seeing riders of Rossi's calibre up that close is a regular occurrence.....lol.
