We’ve already told you that Valentino Rossi is organizing a motocross charity event at the Cavallara track at Mondovia for children with leukemia, now Rossi has personally announced the names of other riders that have decided to make the event an even bigger success.
Besides Marco Simoncelli, Andrea Dovizioso and Marco Melandri, the legendary Kevin Schwantz has accepted along with Mattia Pasini, Jonathan Rea, Loris Capirossi, Michel Fabrizio, Raffaele DeRosa, Roberto Locatelli (injury permitting), Alex DeAngelis and others.
Here’s Valentino’s video inviting everyone to come see the event and he even gives you directions on how to get to the track.
There’s also going to be another charity motocross event by riders to raise funds for a 17 year old Italian motocross rider Luca Pellegrini who was seriously injured last August during a practice session, that will see other big name racing and motocross stars get together to raise money for Luca’s medical bills.
