Valentino Rossi stars in Nutella advert

Reigning MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi has taken time out of his busy racing schedule to promote breakfast spread, Nutella. 

• Video: Rossi talks on the 2009 Yamaha R1

Rossi, who has already appeared in a multitude of Italian TV adverts including the endorsement of his own replica Aprilia SR50 back in his 125cc glory days, features in the breakfast spread ad.

The short clip shows Valentino giving a pillion ride on one of his paddock scooters to the Nutella chef, revving the lid off the Nutella jar and filling his face in the racing paddock.  

Please note, eating Nutella in the morning may not make you as fast as Rossi.
