Moto GP News
Multiple MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi travelled to Monza at the weekend in order to take part in the Blancpain Endurance Series. The Ducati rider, driving a Ferrari 458 Italia, finished the race 18th overall.
Rossi, whose brief switch to four wheels was not his first – having sampled World Rally and Formula 1 machinery over the past ten years – travelled to Italy following a trying start to the MotoGP season in Qatar.
He drove alongside friend Uccio Salucci and finished eighth in class. Winning was the Marc VDS Racing Team – which runs Mika Kallio and Scott Redding in Moto2 – with its line-up of Bas Leinders, Markus Palttala and Maxime Martin.

When Pepe, Real Madrid's Brazil-born defender, steps on the hand of Barcelona's Lionel Messi, the blame is not his alone.
A coach has three main tasks. He selects the team, prepares the strategy - and he also sets the emotional tone for the work. An uptight coach usually produces an uptight team.
When the opposition is Barcelona, Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho appears to get carried away with the importance of the occasion, with some personal questions and with his own frustration at losing so often.
He has crossed the line and behaved in a manner inappropriate to a sporting contest and it is no surprise that one of the more hot-headed members of his team commits the same error.

But City's first-team coach David Platt hinted on Tuesday that the club will reluctantly accept the decision.
Balotelli, 21, appeared to stamp on Scott Parker before scoring a late penalty to secure City's 3-2 win over Premier League title rivals Tottenham.
