Valentino Rossi was reunited with the Yamaha M1, the MotoGP machine he once rode, thrilling MotoGP fans at the scene: Goodwood. Even though he now heads a Ducati-affiliated team, the moment struck a chord as a reminder of his deep ties to Yamaha, drawing a huge response.
Just seeing the photo of Rossi straddling the M1 brings back the smell of the pits. Even someone on Ducati's side now - the memory of cornering etched on that machine doesn't leave the body. That's just how riders are. The moment they get on, their fingertips remember everything. That's exactly why the crowd erupts.

I'd love to go to Goodwood, but coordinating the schedule from Japan seems tough.
I'm curious what model year of M1 he actually rode.
He's on the Ducati side now, so it's a bit of an odd feeling for him to get sentimental riding his old team's bike.
For fans, just getting to see Rossi ride at all is a treat, regardless of the brand.
Goodwood is genuinely great at staging these legend reunions.
Just seeing Rossi paired with an M1 again gives me goosebumps.
How many years did Rossi actually end up spending with Yamaha again?
