MANILA, Philippines?I love reading ?What If I Had Never Tried It: The Autobiography? by Valentino Rossi. I idolize Rossi, who?s seven-time MotoGP World Champion. He?s a young guy, same age as I am, 29. But he?s considered a veteran at 29. I look up to him because he?s never afraid of challenging the norm. He always goes against the grain and sticks to his guns. From the book, I also learned that we share something in common: that we have a small network of loyal friends. When he had a race in Malaysia, I wanted to get his autograph. He almost ran me down with his motorbike, but I got it. I stalked him there!
