For the last couple of months I have been getting pissed off about all the negativity surrounding my MotoGP hero. The commentators were wondering out loud whether Valentino Rossi still had it in him to win a Grand Prix. So-called Valentino Rossi fans switched over to the Casey Stoner camp. People were saying it was time for him to retire and that he was too old to keep up with the young guns. It made me furious. Valentino Rossi has seven world titles under his belt and he is without a doubt the most talented rider on the track.

Yesterday Valentino Rossi proved everyone wrong and silenced all his critics by winning the GP of China in a very impressive way. His motorbike and tires finally allowed him to showcase what he is capable of. Every lap he went faster and faster until no one could keep up with him. He is a true champion and it’s about time that people consider him as a world title contender again. Valentino Rossi rules!
