Meet the new boss......
same as the old boss. Rossi storms to victory for Yamaha
Fo those of you who don't know, Valentino Rossi has been world bike GP champion for the past 3 years. At the end of last year he said "wel, its all getting a bit easy now. I fancy a challenge. I know, I'll go and race for Yamaha, the 5th best team instead of Honda who are way out in front".
So, he goes to Yamaha. The bike is a lump. He works on it with the team, he comes out for the first race of the season saying he'd quite like a podium finish, and he wins in what is easily the best race i have seen in years.
He is the only rider ever to win back to back races on different bikes. What on Earth can anyone do to stop him? The most talented man on 2 wheels.
