2009 Hottie Awards

Okay, now they weren't *quite* the hottie awards, but the MotoGP 2009 Season Awards night once again gave us another chance to see our favourite two-wheel-racing boys scrub up nicely. And they didn't disappoint!

125 terrors, Nico Terol, Julian Simon and Bradley Smith opt for smart casual jeans and blazers

Julito's attire gets the thumbs up by our MGPHotties fashion police!!

He may be a madman on track, but Hector Barbera is sophisticatedly suave in this suit!

Jules Cluzel adds some French flair to the awards night

250 "Hiro" Aoyama opts for classic pinstipes

Mika gives pink the thumbs up

Surprised with an unsuspected 3rd place in the standings, Dani Pedrosa managed to find something to wear, and did well considering!

Stylish champ Valentino Rossi stands out in a classic suit, Dani pulls off black nicely and Lorenzo sparkles in a rather "trendy" shirt.

Peek-a-Mika

Don't turn around. Mika Kallio is watching you.

Double Trouble, Part Deux

Cause good things are still better when they come in packs. :)

Hot Finn - Mika Kallio

Mika Kallio has some big shoes to fill. Being a Finnish motorsport star usually means F1 or Rally and Mika is the first successful Finn on two wheels in over thirty years. Before him the 1970s were the most successful period for Finnish riders with legend Jarno Saarinnen winning the 250cc title in '72 before his untimely death in 1973. The last Finnish GP win before Mika was back in 1975, gained by Pentti Korhonen who was appropriately nicknamed the Flying Finn - just like Mika is today.
After a spectacular switch from Honda to KTM in the middle of the 2003 season, Mika remained faithful to the Austrian brand for six seasons, finishing runner-up in 125cc twice and third in 250cc last season. Now he'll tackle the MotoGP class and maybe he can become the new Finnish legend on two wheels.
