Valentino Rossi meets his Ducati (w/videos)

Thanks to someone from Valentino Rossi’s staff and AsphaltandRubber.
com who found the videos and posted them on Youtube, we can show you the behind the scenes of Rossi meeting his new ride at the Valencia tests for the first time, even if we believe it wasn’t the first time… ‘What If I Never Tried It’, docet.

Some of the Italian words in the videos include ‘bella’ (beautiful), ‘che emozione’ (what an emotion), ‘non ho mai imaginato questo giorno, bellissimo’ (I never could have imagined this day, beautiful) and Filippo Preziosi laughingly saying ‘come fa uno non comuoversi’ (how can anyone not get emotional) and Alessandro Cicognani who says ‘ci siamo, abbiamo anche il numbero adesso’ (we’re ready, we even got the number now).

Catch our favourite mechanic Alex Briggs, showing off the moustache he’s growing for the Movember charity event.
