Rossi's Fan Club 46

The Doctor's Colleague: Uccio:

by dean adams

Wednesday, April 08, 2009 Uccio: Valentino Rossi's best friend, driver, confidant.

image by dean adamsSitting in the Fiat Yamaha hospitality unit interviewing Valentino Rossi's confidant, Uccio, I become aware that the table we are sitting at is shaking.

The pulses are uneven and I can't figure out where the chatter is coming from. Once, when Uccio looks away searching for words, I peer quickly under the table and realize that he is so nervous about the interview that his legs and hands are shaking, that he is grasping the table to stop his hands from gyrating.

Uccio is Rossi's best friend, has known him since they were children and is the nucleus of the Rossi inner circle. They are together 24/7 for weeks and months at a time. Even though his friend and boss is a worldwide media sensation, Uccio is not a willing participant in the glitteratti; a simple interview request has his brow wet with sweat and his hands shaking like he needs Methadone.

Uccio is speaking in Italian and English, with a pretty translator from Fiat drafted in at the last moment to help. I ask a question, she translates it to him, he answers her in Italian. Then she and he then answer in Italian and English. At the same time.

I tell him that his life must be much like the characters in the HBO series Entourage. He stares back, says he has never seen a television program named Entourage.

Earlier in his career, Rossi raced with an Italian phrase on his leathers, one which loosely translated meant something like "Bring on the pussy". There is a near-constant swarm of girls hovering around the Rossi camp, the romantic possibilities must be alluring for Uccio. In rock and roll, it is said, the roadies get all the girls.

In obvious disappointment, he shakes his head slowly, like the reality is more painful than anyone can imagine. "No. Even at the end of the night they want Valentino. Only Valentino," he says glumly.

The shaking and sweating continues. His devotion to his friend and the innocence that radiates from him instill sympathy. I decide to cut the pain short and get him on his way before he becomes ill. I ask for his best Valentino Rossi story.

Uccio runs his hands through his brown hair nervously, peers out the garage door, looks back, mulls for a moment and then says:

"When we were kids, young kids, we had a scooter, Valentino and I. We rode it all day and every day, very fast in our little town of Urbino. Sometimes we were with our other friends on their scooters and we were menaces in the street. The police were chasing us almost every day and people were complaining about us and Graziano (Rossi's father) was getting more angry every day. We always said that it would never happen again, but it did and was getting worse.

"So, one day, we wake up in the morning and go outside and are going to get on the scooter and we see that while we were sleeping, Graziano had removed the engine from the scooter."

"I was so upset; I don't remember being more disappointed ever in my life. It just took something ... from you," he says as he motions to his body.

"Valentino, though, was only sad for a moment. He looked at the bike and thought for a second and he said 'Come on Uccio, help me push this bike."

"So we push it to the a very tall hill and we get on the bike with no engine and we start down the hill. Instead of using brakes, this time Valentino uses no brakes almost and we are soon going down the hill very fast, faster than ever before. It is quiet and the wind is smashing our faces."

"I remember then, and can see it now in my brain, Valentino looking back at me as we rushed down the hill and him saying, "See! It's even better!"

Rossi nominalizat pentru premiul Sportivul Anului

 

Starul MotoGP Valentino Rossi ar putea sa se alature unor sportivi precum Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, Roger Federer sau Michael Schumacher daca va castiga distinctia de Sportivul Anului, pentru realizarile sale din sezonul 2008, premiul fiind oferit in cadrul galei Laureus Sports Awards.

 

Italianul a fost unul din cei sase finalisti: doi castigatori ai medaliei de aur la Olimpiada din 2008, Usain Bolt si Michael Phelps, campionul mondial de Formula 1, Lewis Hamilton, tenismanul Rafael Nadal si fotbalistul Cristiano Ronaldo; care au impresionat prin performantele lor in sezonul trecut.

 

Chiar daca Valentino Rossi nu se afla la prima nominalizare la un premiu al celor de la Laureaus, in 2006 fiind castigatorul sectiunii Laureus Spirit Of Sport Award pentru contributia sa pentru motociclism, titlul pentru care este nominalizat in prezent ar reprezenta inca o dovada a performantelor sale deosebite.

MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi to ride Isle of Man TT course

MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi will ride the iconic Isle of Man TT course in June it has been confirmed.

 

It will be the eight-time MotoGP World Champion’s first visit to the TT and his lap of the Mountain Circuit will bring together two of the biggest names in motorcycle racing.

 

The 30-year-old will arrive in the Isle of Man on Saturday June 6 with fellow Italian Grand Prix legend Giacomo Agostini, who is no stranger to the TT. Ago race in the Isle of Man from 1966 to 1972, winning 10 TT races when the event held World Championship status.

 

The pair will lap the 37¾-mile course ahead of the Dainese Superbike race. Rossi and Agostini will ride 2009 Yamaha R1s behind the course car, flanked by Travelling Marshals riding similar machines.

 

Rossi, who has already own 97 GPs in his illustrious career, is excited about his first visit to the TT.

 

He said:

 

‘I am fascinated by all sort of motorsport and the Isle of Man is a destination and a race I have wanted to experience for a long time.’

‘The MotoGP schedule is very busy around this time of year, but this year the TT has moved dates a little and there is a week gap between Mugello and Catalunya, so now at last we have the opportunity to see this famous event!’

‘I have seen many famous images from the TT races, and of course heard much about it from Giacomo and Mr Dainese who enjoyed the experience so much last year.’

Dainese renewed its current partnership with the Isle of Man TT races in April and will be the Official Safety Partner for the second successive year. The company's founder and CEO Lino Dainese will accompany Rossi and Agostini on this historic visit.

 

Mr Dainese added:

 

‘This is the second year of being the Official Safety Partner to the Isle of Man TT Races and is a very big challenge for our company: we want to give a strong signal to our commitment of safety.’

‘We continue with our research and development programme of the D-air system, and at the TT Races we will cooperate again with our rider Guy Martin who gave such valuable feedback at last year’s event.’

‘Our research will continue also at Grand Prix circuits this year with Valentino Rossi's support too.’

‘We are delighted he can be with us at the TT this year to highlight the general commitment of all our pilots, together with D-tec (Dainese Technology Center) to make a step forward in motorbike protection.’

After the Dainese Superbike race there will be a press conference involving Mr Dainese, Agostini and Rossi outlining Dainese’s future commitments to further improving safety for people who love active sports before the VIP group leave to return to Italy.

 

Rossi’s appearance has been made possible because of his involvement with Dainese. Yamaha and MCN have also been involved in setting up the trip, working with the Isle of Man Government.

 

Tourism and Leisure Minister Martyn Quayle said:

 

‘The TT has a long history with Italy and Italian riders including Carlo Ubbiali, Tarquinio Provini and of course Giacomo Agostini.’

‘It is fantastic that another one of the ultimate motorcycling champions will be visiting the Island this year and I’m sure that everyone will give him a fantastic reception along with Giacamo Agostini.’

‘We are incredibly grateful to our partners Yamaha and particularly Dainese for making this trip happen. It represents and excellent opportunity to promote the Isle of Man and the TT Races to a global audience.’

Rossi se pregateste de WRC din 2011

 

Valentino Rossi a confirmat pentru agentia de presa Reuters ca isi va urma pasiunea pentru masinile de raliu, cel mai probabil alaturi de Ford, dupa ce va simti ca impresionanta sa cariera pe doua roti a ajuns la final.

"Sper sa trec la patru roti. Cred ca este prea tarziu pentru Formula 1, dar sper sa am a doua parte a carierei mele cu masina. A fost dintotdeauna marea mea pasiune. Am crescut alaturi de tatal meu (Graziano), care de asemenea a pilotat masini de raliu asa ca atunci cand termin cu motocicletele sper sa am inca 10 ani cu masina."

 

Vorbind despre numeroasele zvonuri din trecut referitoare la ofertele avute de a pleca din MotoGP si a trece la Formula 1, Valentino Rossi a declarat:

"Am avut sansa de a intra in Formula 1 la sfarsitul lui 2006." a marturisit Rossi. "Am vorbit mult cu Ferrari. Am avut un plan serios de a fi pilot de teste in 2007 si apoi sa incep sa concurez in 2008. Dar am decis sa raman cu motocicletele -- deci a insemnat ca eu si Formula 1 am incheiat capitolul."

 

"Consider ca World Rally Championship este principala optiune," a dezvaluit pilotul italian. "Am o buna relatie cu Ford asa ca poate va fi Ford. Voi decide in vara lui 2010."

Valentino Rossi (Fiat Yamaha) 1st

 

"This is a very emotional moment and for sure I will remember this 100th victory for the rest of my life. When I reached 70, 100 seemed a long way away but here I am and it has been great, great fun getting here. It is down to so many people, like Jeremy and my guys who have been with me for ten years and all of the team who always give 100% and always give me the best bike possible. Especially however I have to thank the friends who have been with me my whole life and my father Graziano, who won here in Assen 30 years ago when I was a baby, and my mother Stefania, because they have always supported me. It?s great to reach this moment here at Assen because it's the "Cathedral" of motorcycle racing and the most historic track we go to. Today was a perfect race . I got a great start and my bike was incredible which meant that my pace was very strong. In fact I think it was better for everyone?s hearts not to have another last-lap battle like in Barcelona! I had a good advantage from Lorenzo in some parts of the track and it was a great ride for me. Now I have 100 wins and I'm only the second rider to arrive at this number, but Agostini still has 22 more and for me he is still the greatest. 100 is a great result but the atmosphere in our team is wonderful and the motivation is still as high as ever , we want to win a few more races together yet!"
