Valentino Rossi is the first world champion of the MotoGP class....

Valentino Rossi wins race and his fourth world title in Rio, now
he really won in all classes and is in the history of motorcycling.
The pilot from Tavullia riding the Honda RC 211 V (from next year also in the
hands of Max Biaggi) won the race and the title.

Following him here in Rio, in addition to his loyalists (Uccio in the lead), also his mother Stefania
while dad Graziano is not present because he is competing
a rally.
What can I say, Valentino has already decided (let's hope he changes his mind) that he will compete
his last season in MotoGP in 2003 and then the jump into Rallying where this year
will participate in the Rac, one of the most difficult of the entire championship.

What is certain is that in addition to being a true 'Champion' Vale is also one
of the most loved by audiences all over the world.
Even here in Rio there were fans wearing shirts and caps and this is a
tangible sign of his popularity.
Big surprise party this evening and then the return to Italy to his beloved
Tavullia that he wouldn't leave for all the gold in the world.
