A very special award for Valentino Rossi. 9 times World Champion was honoured when he was presented with the “Winning Italy” Award by the Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini at Palazzo Madama in Rome. The award is given to those Italians who promote the image of Italy in the world, be it economics, research or sports and in the case of Rossi it’s because the World Champion has become an icon who represents the marvellous virtues of Italy on a foreign front, making all his compatriots proud to be Italian and with his 103 wins has sounded the Italian national anthem in the five continents.
Nine of 103 wins of Valentino happened at the Mugello Circuit - "His home circuit" -. He spoke a lot about the fantastic battle during 2008 Italian Grand Prix just at the Mugello and about his no win last year with the interruption of seven consecutive wins.
