Artwork detail

[art #909]. Limited Edition Print by Steve Dunn.

Valentino Rossi, the master of MotoGP showmanship and nine-time world champion, was at the height of his powers in 2009, riding the Fiat Yamaha YZR-M1. One of the most memorable images of Rossi from that season is of him pulling off a celebratory wheelie, a classic Rossi moment that showcases his joy for racing and unparalleled control over his machine. The YZR-M1, with its inline-four 800cc engine, was the perfect tool in Rossi's hands, delivering both blistering top-end speed and the agility needed to dominate on the tight, twisty circuits of the MotoGP calendar.

Yamaha's YZR-M1 was equipped with cutting-edge electronics, including advanced traction control and seamless gearbox technology, which allowed Rossi to push harder than ever. His skill in managing tire wear and maintaining momentum in long sweeping corners was unmatched. At circuits like Mugello and Assen, Rossi's balance of aggression and finesse aboard the M1 made him the rider to beat. The bike's refined chassis offered precision in handling, while the Yamaha's smooth power delivery suited Rossi's high-corner-speed riding style perfectly.

2009 saw Rossi in fierce battles with rivals like Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner, but his mastery of the M1, along with his famous celebration antics, solidified his status as the ultimate MotoGP competitor... and entertainer.
