The legend continues! Valentino wins the 2009 MotoGP title and adds a 9th World Championship to his bio.
A few important facts about VR46:
1) Has 103 wins to his name, 77 in the premier class.
2) 163 podiums in all Grand Prix classes.
3) With Saturday’s pole position at Sepang, Rossi equaled Mick Doohan’s pole position record of 58.
4) Has never missed a race start since making his debut in 1996. He has started 226 successive GP races across all classes since; 167 of which have been in the top class.
5) Valentino Rossi and Giacomo Agostini are the only two riders to have won titles on both two stroke and four stroke bikes, and the only rider to have won championship titles on four different types of motorcycles: 500cc two-stroke Honda, 990cc four-stroke Honda, 990cc four-stroke Yamaha and 800cc four-stroke Yamaha.
Of course AGV and Drudi had a special edition GP-Tech helmet for the occasion.
