Valentino Rossi
Valentino Rossi's career is nothing short of remarkable. He made his Grand Prix debut in 1996 at the age of 17, riding for Aprilia in the 125cc class. He quickly proved himself to be a talented rider, winning his first race in 1997 and finishing second in the championship that same year. The following year, he won the championship with an impressive 11 victories out of 15 races.
Rossi moved up to the 250cc class in 1998, where he won his first race in the class in only his second race. He went on to win his first 250cc championship in 1999, with four wins and eight podium finishes. In 2000, he defended his title with another four wins and nine podium finishes.
In 2000, Rossi made the move up to the premier class of motorcycle racing, MotoGP, with Honda. He finished the season in second place, but the following year he won his first MotoGP championship with 11 victories out of 16 races. He successfully defended his championship in 2003, with nine wins and 14 podium finishes.
After a disappointing 2004 season, in which he finished third in the championship, Rossi moved to Yamaha for the 2005 season. He won the championship that year with five wins and 11 podium finishes, and he went on to win two more championships with Yamaha in 2008 and 2009.
Rossi then made a move to Ducati in 2011, but he struggled with the bike and only managed to finish the season in seventh place. He returned to Yamaha in 2013, but his results were not as strong as in previous years. Despite this, he continued to race and even earned podium finishes in the years that followed.
Rossi announced in 2020 that he would be retiring from MotoGP at the end of the 2021 season, after an illustrious career spanning more than two decades. He has won a total of nine world championships, 115 Grand Prix victories, and 235 podium finishes across various classes.
Throughout his career, Rossi has been known for his daring and aggressive riding style, as well as his ability to adapt to changing conditions and make split-second decisions during races. His dedication to the sport and his fans has earned him a massive following, and he will always be remembered as one of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time.
