A real party with a special guest, namely Valentino Rossi. In fact, Yamaha found itself in Jerez together with many fans, who had the opportunity to take to the track with the riders of the tuning-fork manufacturer at the "Yamaha Racing Experience."

Among yesterday's and today's riders, Valentino Rossi also responded to the event. Besides trying out the Superbike of Remy Gardner's GRT team, the Doctor took a sort of plunge into the past of almost 40 years.

That was the case indeed, because the nine-time world champion got to ride around the Andalusian track on Eddie Lawson's Yamaha 500, namely the one with which the American legend won the 1986 world title, getting the better of Gardner and Mamola.
