Valentino Rossi wins Monza Rally Show

It took the Monza Rally Show and the Mastershow (dedicated to the late Marco Simoncelli) and a switch to four wheels for Valentino Rossi to finally score a pair of wins this season.
This was the Italian’s third win at the show after winning the 2006 and 2007 editions together with Carlo Cassina.

Rossi’s rival this year was multiple Le Mans winner Rinaldo ‘Dindo’ Capello and his co-driver Luigi Pirollo.
The two divided the top spots in the nine stages, Rossi taking 5 and Capello 4, but the MotoGP rider won in the end with a margin of 2.
8 seconds.
Pierino Longhi and Luca Cassola took the third spot on the podium, while Andrea Dovizioso ended up fifth with his Citroen DS3 after losing the last stage.
The Brivio brothers Davide and Roberto, closed out the three day event in 9th ahead of reigning MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo – who was tenth in his rally debut (he usually does car endurance races).
Loris Capirossi finished in 34th and 9th in his class while Simone Corsi and Claudio Corti had to retire after the second day.
