Valentino Rossi, I'm Yellow



My writing today is different from others in this blog. It is not about academic writing or something formal. It is about my favorite rider and the best rider (In my opinionJ) in the world, VALENTINO ROSSI.

Who doesn’t know him? I think he is very popular person. Yeahh, Valentino Rossi, rider from Italy. He was born on February 16th 1979 in Urbino, Italy. He knows about bike when he was child. I know, it is surely skill from his father, Graziano Rossi.

I don’t know exactly when I started admiring him. I just know that I admire him until now on. When I was child (really I forget the time), my father always watched motoGP in television. I just followed him and found myself enjoy this TV program. At that time, I still didn’t know the name of the rider. I just knew the initial that always appears on the screen. The initial I spotted the most is ROS and MEL.

With my innocence, I watched the program and said “wah.. ROS is in the first position” or “wah it’s MEL” or “These two (ROS and MEL) always lead the race.” My father then told me their name. ROS is Valentino Rossi and MEL is Marco Melandri. From the MC, finally I found that they are riders from Italia.

Yeah, I started yelling their name in every race I watched. But, I admire Rossi the most. I like the celebration when he is winning the race. I love the way he showed his love to his bike. I like the way his smile even he can’t finish the race. He is humble, friendly, and I believe that he is a kind person.

I remember, he ever crashed in 2010. It was so terrible accident in Mugello if I’m not wrong. He had to take a rest for 3 months. The race became so boring. There is no legend that always shows the best overtaking that he can do. There is no amazing race without him. At that time, I never saw the race. It just made me sad. But, I watched it again when he is back J

After that accident, he still cannot get his best style. His bike setting still cannot be in the best condition. But, yellows (his fans) always support him. Do you know why? because he is Valentino Rossi, rider with full of spirit,  rider that always shows to the world “I will do my best”.

Well, I write this because I really miss his celebration on the podium. J


“My name is Valentino Rossi and I  want to be a precious person not just a symbol of something” (Rossi, What if I’d never Tried It?)
