Bukan cuma jago dibalapan roda 2 tapi juga jago dibalapan roda 4, kali ini Rossi kembali balapan diajang Monza Rally Show... Walau pada akhirnya harus puas pada posisi 2 dikalahkan oleh mantan pembalap Formula 1 Robert Kubica. Yang mengikuti balapan ini bukan cuma Rossi dan Kubica, namun juga ada d'Aste dan Brivio, Tony Cairoli, Ken Block, Kurt Busch dan Lewis Hamilton disesi pembuka Masters.
“I really enjoyed the rally and especially the Master’s Show,” Rossi said. “Kubica arrived here after a strong year in rally racing, so finishing very close to him is already a satisfaction. It was also cool to see Hamilton and congratulate him for the title.“We exchanged helmets, and I invited him to test this car, but also to ride the bike. He is passionate and comes to MotoGP from time to time and has also a 450cc motocross bike.”
“First of all I enjoyed it a lot, it’s a shame because before the last stage I had a 17 second advantage but I did a mistake. From that moment it was difficult to get back on the pace. It was a good rally, I enjoyed it. It’s always a great weekend and I enjoy seeing all my fans. It’s a good way to close the season.”
