This is someone even Valentino Rossi greatly admired - Norick "Norifumi" Abe. Scoring a ride with Team Roberts after a sensational wildcard debut he later went on to become the first ever Japanese rider to win the home GP in Suzuka. The hugely popular rider with the spikey hair and the serious look on almost every picture tragically died in a motorcycle crash in October 2007. But his legacy lives on - not least every time Valentino is named "Rossifumi".
