In the series' Did you know? "Or" Wow! It is not, I just learned that the speed limit in the village of Tavullia in Italy was 46km / h, instead of the classic 50km / h.

Why? Because Valentino Rossi, five times world champion in MotoGP, and from Tavullia, bears the number 46 on his motorcycle.

C'aurait been more fun if he had worn the number 150, but good.

The info is true on Wikipedia, which provides still some credit.

As against, I am not certain that the panel is very regulatory Yamaha.

If you do nothing to MOTO GP races, or that you do not care because you do not understand anything, I invite you to watch these films: "Faster" & "The Doctor the Tornado & the Kentucky Kid" .

Personally, I had the opportunity to see Faster, which traces the history of MotoGP seasons in 2001 and 2002 (which marked the passage of 500cm 2temps at 1000cm 4 stroke), and it's a great surprise: the n 'M not just a documentary images impressive, but it is also a film that decoding the backstage relationships between drivers (who sometimes come at the hands ...). Furthermore, the naration was made by Ewan MacGregor.

The pitch Faster:

The film follows four of the greatest drivers: two Italians, world champion Valentino Rossi and his great rival Max Biaggi, Garry McCoy, the brilliant-but prone to accidents Australian and very promising Anglo-American John Hopkins. Their history makes us discover the ecstasy and terror that reigned on the runway when the speed reached levels the most senseless, like the stories told by former world champion Mick Doohan, Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey, Kenny Roberts and Barry Sheen.

To get an idea, here is generic:

For the record, during the presentation of the film at Cannes in 2003, Ewan MacGregor and pilots Heroes of the documentary came with their mounts on the Croisette. View Gallery
