For the first time since retiring from Grand Prix racing, Valentino Rossi got back on a Yamaha MotoGP machine, at the UK's Goodwood Festival of Speed. "It always stirs up emotion," Rossi said — a special moment for longtime fans watching him ride once more.
There's no way that feeling doesn't come rushing back the moment a retired rider gets on a GP bike again. 'It always stirs up emotion' - that one line says it all. The memory of the throttle that stays in your fingertips never fades, I know that all too painfully well myself. Even if it's just a demo run, just seeing Rossi throw a leg over a Yamaha is enough to get you fired up.

Is Goodwood more of a festival than an actual race?
I get the sentiment, but fixing the current Yamaha should come first.
Exactly, if they have energy to bring in Rossi, fix the works team instead.
That ride with the Goodwood atmosphere, I wish I could've been there.
First time since retirement — how many years has it been already?
He retired at the end of 2021, so this is roughly the first time in almost 4 years.
Rossi swinging a leg over a Yamaha MotoGP bike again, it makes me tear up.
