And sometime in the near future so will rain:)


It'll be interesting to see how he performs going from 2--4 wheels in comparison to Schui's 4--2 wheel escapades

He's done rallying before and also driven the Ferrari F1 car?

apparently he's quite a talent in a rally car, as well as being fairly handy on a motorbike (or so I'm told).

He won the Monza rally last year I think, and beat Colin McRae the other year too. He just missed out on a top ten finish in the New Zealand Rally a couple of years a go too.

I put a tenner on him to win a stage in the GB rally about 4 years ago and he crashed out on day 2. d'oh!

thought rossi planned doing it last year but cancelled due to testing?
did i hear a rumour that he also wanted a wildcard entry for the last round of wsbk?

I think this is super for the children in need charity. Wonder if he'll join in with commentating when hes not driving...just remember him joining on eurosport for a 125s race...
'' here comes a cheeky little man coming up on the inside'' :-) :-)

I do hope we get to see the race on telly

So he'll be up for NW5 then..hehehe

If Lord God Rossi retires and goes to play in the light-of-foot 4wheel brigay-ed, I would hope he would join the WRC rallying bumpkins full time rather than those big go-karters in Formulae Uno:smt069

I might even start "taping" WRC if it don't clash with with UK Thunderbikes on MotorsTV.;)[-o<
