Well done Valentino
Discussion
couldnt agree more. and lets not forget that he has won every championship fair & square. not by using the methods that a certain f1 'champion' (i use that term loosely) as at least 2, if not 3, of his wins could be deemed questionable.
one question - what was the story behind the chicken on hi svictory lap this afternoon? couldnt quite understand what was going on.

Osvaldo the chicken . . .
A long standing Vale gag.
A few years ago when he was in 250's he put a chicken sticker on his bike and conned the Italian press that he was being sponsored by a local chicken farmer. . . In fact a particular chicken.
The press swallowed it and then tried to identify the sponsor.
It's been used a few times since, fully dressed chicken at race win's etc . .
The chicken went by the name of 'Osvaldo'. Perhaps he was further referring to old chickens as well, I don;t know on that but it's a well known story.

thanks for that. next question - where can i buy one of the t-shirts he was wearing?
the guy is just a genius. no arrogance, just class & style. always enjoy it when he wins as you never know what his victory celebration will be.
more of the same next year please although i reckon that mr stoner will give him a run for his money assuming that he is now fully fit.

Great stuff all year, well done to the old chicken, he is the goat 
. Next year is going to be a good one again, should be at least a 3 way fight between Rossi, Lorenzo and Stoner, and anyone else who gets a good bike (Pedrosa?). 10 championships is a nice round number though isn't it?

Is he out? My girls love him. They like the squeaky voice and all, and would like to take him home and play with him. They would be devastated to find out he is gay, even though they don't quite know what that means yet!Whatever, I have always been a fan of his as well, much in the way that I have been a Rubens Barrichello fan. He just seems to be a happy fellow most of the time, and sems to enjoy what he is doing.

I would like to see Pedrosa do well, but you just get the feeling he is going to be the "nearly"man, he doesn't have the extra umph that the other 3 have to push the bike past the fine line . Next year is going to be a good one again, should be at least a 3 way fight between Rossi, Lorenzo and Stoner, and anyone else who gets a good bike (Pedrosa?). 10 championships is a nice round number though isn't it? Rossi is the GOAT, no question, but Gorgeous is the fastest teammate Vale has ever had and I expect him to put up an even bigger challenge next year by crashing a bit less often.
