Valentino Rossi finally won a race, wait I mean rally this season (a win is a win)

So last weekend (23-25/11/12) was the annual Monza Rally Show and two main drivers who was at the Rally was current Yamaha MotoGP champion and four time motorcycling champion (two MotoGP champ and two 250cc champ) Jorge Lorenzo and nine times Motorcyling champion (seven MotoGP/500cc champ, one time 250cc champ, 125cc champ ) and returning Yamaha rider The Doctor himself Valentino Rossi. (By the way I do like Valentino Rossi Ford Fiesta RS WRC Monster Engery livery rally car below.)






So the Rally itself, the final results saw The Doctor won this years Monza Rally ahead of former Le Mans 24 hour winner and Le Mans legend Rinaldo Capello by just 2.8 seconds. Jorge Lorenzo meanwhile, finished 10th place in his Rally debut in his Cirteon DS3 WRC, two and a half minutes behind his new/old team-mate.


Among other familiar names in the Rally were former Tech3 and 2013 works Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso finished 5th in a Cirteon DS3 WRC, 90 seconds behind The Doctor at the end of the rally. While, former MotoGP rider Loris Capirossi finished 34th in a Peugeot 207 S2000 car.

Here's a YouTube video below of Valentino Rossi highlights of the rally and winning the rally and doing some donuts from the Former Motorcycling World Champion. Enjoy.
