MotoGP – Rossi show at the Yamaha Fest in Misano

While Colin Edwards was in Japan to test the Yamaha YZF R1 SP together with Noriyuki Haga for the Suzuka 8 hours, and his best friend "Uccio" was in Monza racing with a Dodge Viper in the GT Italia, Valentino Rossi was the protagonist of the weekend on the Romagna Riviera. Saturday night (it seems) spent at the "Marano" in Riccione, then a promotional commitment of great media impact: the Yamaha Fest in Misano Adriatico. At Santamonica, which will return to MotoGP next year, Valentino Rossi intervened for a long presence on stage, where he answered Valerio Staffelli's questions and "warmed up" the audience present.

After re-living this start of the season, Valentino Rossi met Giacomo Agostini, to whom he "loaned" the Yamaha YZR M1 in "Valencia 2005" livery for a few laps on the track. An undoubtedly electrifying and historic moment, a real gift for the thousands of people present at the Santamonica in Misano Adriatico...
