Although newly-crowned MotoGP champ Valentino Rossi will undoubtedly be back with Yamaha to contest the 2005 MotoGP championship, his adventuresome spirit may lead him to seek new challenges (as he did when he left Honda for Yamaha a year ago) outside the world of motorcycle roadracing.
Rossi has already tested a Ferrari F1 automobile with excellent results. He has also shown skill as a rally car driver.
The bottom line is that you better get out to see Valentino Rossi race a motorcycle soon (we get the chance here in the U.S. next year at Laguna Seca). He is one of the great sportsmen of our time, and he is always seeking a new challenge.
