The center of Valentino Rossi's own tornado is where he is seated.
Success on the track has been accompanied with a charismatic personality, broad popularity in the sporting world, and a larger profile than possibly any other motorcycle racer in Grand Prix history.
Instead of avoiding attention or becoming weary of it, the Italian developed a persona that allowed him to share the passion for motorcycle racing and riding that has contributed to his longevity and continued influence. At first, "The Doctor" was written in a slew of bold, yellow letters along with a number "46" and various cartoon logos.
Rossi's professional reputation as a man who enjoys himself as much as being ruthlessly competitive was cemented by the post-race celebrations, liveries, japes, and shenanigans he engaged in during the course of nine world championship victories.
The most recent episode, "The Doctor," takes a closer look at the man and his influence over two decades of MotoGP and some of the most famous Grand Prix moments in contemporary history.
Once more, the Tavullia inner circle is a great source of knowledge and insight as we attempt to look through the theatricalities of "The Doctor."
