Happy Birthday, Valentino


I see that Moto GP legend, Valentino Rossi, is 32 today. Happy birthday to him. I know that 'Brother Brian' of the sacred order of Moto GP is a big fan and rates him with the very best that have ever taken to the track in such a mental sport. Brian has even visited the sacred order's shrine, the track at Mugello, to witness the Italian Moto GP. Rossi suffered his first ever crash last year and sustained a broken leg. BBC Report and video here.

Of course, nobody ever gets to that standard without starting out at the very bottom when you are very young. I remember how difficult it was just to learn how to ride a bike. Thank goodness we have this instructive video from Simon Pegg - which demonstrates that even something as simple as learning to ride a bike can be dangerous at times.
