Rossi and racing
Rossi was a regular spectator to rallies with his father Graziano who took up rallying after he stopped his bike racing career and Valentino says that rallying is his big passion other than motorcycle racing. It is also worth noting that Rossi is a fervent anti-smoking fan and has rejected a number of approaches from the tobacco companies involved in motorcycling so the chances of him appearing in a BAR seem rather less than recent rumors would have one believe.
