Valentino Rossi entered Grand Prix racing in 1996 and his natural skill and charisma quickly made him a huge fan favourite. The nine-time World Champion’s remarkable career is defined by record-breaking achievements - including being the only rider in history to lift 125, 250, 500 and MotoGP™ titles - and is the sole premier class winner on 500cc, 990cc and 800cc machinery. The Italian dominated the MotoGP four-stroke series on-board the Honda RC211V, then switched to Yamaha in 2004, with his win at the opening round in South Africa making him only the second rider ever to win consecutive races for different factories. His 2011 move to Ducati was marked by constant challenge as the manufacturer struggled against the Japanese competition. Rossi entered 2012 with the intent to regain his spot amongst the front-runners yet, despite two podium finishes, did not enjoy a significant turnaround. In 2013 he returned to his old Yamaha team, rejoining forces with Jorge Lorenzo; the challenge began with second place in Qatar and ‘The Doctor’ was back to winning ways at Assen, but despite six rostrum results ended the year 97 points behind rookie title winner Marc Marquez in fourth overall. For 2014, Rossi began working with new Crew Chief Silvano Galbusera and changed his riding style – reinventing himself and improving results to take two more wins, 13 podiums and the runner-up spot in the championship. He is signed to remain with Yamaha in 2015 and 2016.
