A cap autographed by racing driver Valentino Rossi

Valentino Rossi is an Italian motorcycle racer. He is a nine-time world champion in road and circuit motorcycle racing in various classes, as well as a six-time vice-champion and was third twice at the end of the season. He won the Italian Grand Prix seven times. Rossi is the only one who has managed to win races when starting from eleventh position. He is rightfully considered one of the most successful motorcycle racers of all time.

From an early age, Valentino watched his father Graziano participate in motorcycle racing, so even then he decided to follow in his footsteps. Together with his father, Rossi begins to think about the possibility of participating in the Italian 100cc series in order to continue to develop in the direction of Formula 1.

A lucky mascot for Rossi is a turtle. Valentino has a very touching story about this item. When he was just starting his racing career, his mother gave him a stuffed turtle, which Rossi immediately attached to his helmet. Since then, the wonderful mascot has not missed a single race with Valentino.
