How does Valentino Rossi keep up with the news?

How does Valentino Rossi keep up to date with all the hot news in the MotoGP paddock? He reads MCN of course.

The nine-times world champion was snapped getting his weekly fix of MCN at Laguna Seca in California yesterday as the Italian prepared for the second race since his comeback from a compound fracture of his right leg.

Rossi produced a dazzling ride at the Sachsenring in Germany last Sunday to mark his astonishingly quick recovery with a brilliant fourth place. He was only denied a heroic podium by a last corner attack from Casey Stoner.

And he was quick to catch all the reaction to his Sachsenring stunner and the latest MotoGP news by grabbing a copy of MCN in the Fiat Yamaha garage on the eve of this weekend’s American MotoGP clash.
