Feta, Spinach, Chicken And Tomato Pasta
was born in Urbino, Italy to father Graziano Rossi and mother Stefania. He races with number 46 in honour of his father Graziano, who raced with the same number, and is considered by many to be the greatest motorbike racer of all time. He was the youngest rider ever to win the 125cc World Championship. He has two autobiographies – What If I Had Never Tried It and Valentino Rossi: The Flying Doctor (available on Kalahari.net). Rossi earned his nickname due to his cold and clinical dismantling of his opponents, as well as his composure in racing. Fellow motorbike racer and former teammate, Colin Edwards, as well as some TV journalists, have often referred to him as the ‘GOAT’ (Greatest Of All Time). In March 2010, he was awarded the first Winning Italy Award for the positive image he portrays of his country on an international level. Rossi is one of the highest earning sports personalities, who is a big pasta fan.
