Rider gossip: Rossi on skiing holiday courts the ladies

There’s nothing like a bit of gratuitous gossip about Valentino Rossi (and more importantly his love life) for some relaxation on a Friday afternoon.
And so we bring you the news of Rossi’s winter ski break before the much-awaited MotoGP tests in Sepang, Malaysia.

Rossi has been out and about with love interest Valentina in the VIP location of Madonna di Campiglio in Italy’s alpine regions.

Whether things are serious between the two or not is unclear (and you might not care), but we feel that a bit of female company for Rossi can only be expected – the man’s on holiday!Weekly magazine, DiPiù has released a series of photos of the couple and has reported that they have spent many an afternoon snowboarding together with some friends.

Could this be true love or a holiday romance…?
