This is the best overtake you will see today
Valentino Rossi normally rides motorbikes. Motorbikes are quite narrow. However, at the Monza Rally Show, The Doctor was piloting a rally-spec Fiesta, which is rather wider.
Now, we're not sure whether Rossi simply forgot he was in charge of a vehicle several feet broader than his usual steed, or he's even ballsier than we ever thought. Either way, it made for one hell of an overtake in front of his home crowd around the ultra-tight Monza circuit.
Rossi, you'll remember, is no mug on four wheels. He tested Ferrari's F1 car back in 2006, raced an Impreza in the WRC and, last year, even borrowed the keys to Kyle Busch's NASCAR. Vale, if you ever fancy making that switch from two to four a more permanent affair, we'll welcome you with open arms...
