MotoGP – Rossi in “Red” in Valencia?

We are honestly annoyed by Rossi and the two (Ducati) and four (Ferrari) wheeled "Red". Enough, we can't take it anymore, at least until Valencia we'll only talk about bends, braking, drifting and shows on the track. Our promise that we will try to keep (unfortunately in the days following the Grand Prix Valentino will test the Ferrari F1 at Mugello...), even if we have found an alibi to deceive it. Yes, because bombshell news has just arrived: Valentino Rossi and the entire Factory Yamaha team could be colored white/red in Valencia, a replica of the colors of many successes in 500cc with Agostini, Lawson, Rainey, Cadalora and so on and so forth. the more you put.

The colors of Marlboro, but without showing the brand currently partner of Ducati Corse, for a bike that will still theoretically be branded Gauloises for Valencia. With the European Union's veto regarding the display of tobacconist brands in motor racing, Yamaha has thus seen fit for Valencia to dress the YZR M1s with historical colours, without too much bothering the contract still in existence with Altadis (which seems will give up without going through legal proceedings to dress the Yamahas in 2006) and thus providing delicious images for vintage enthusiasts.

Like at Laguna Seca, to thus close an extraordinary season with the rider, manufacturer and team titles won in MotoGP. A season that also meant the 50th anniversary of one's birth...
