Photoshoot Wednesday: Valentino Rossi

We continue the week of photoshoots with many a fan's favourite Italian rider, Valentino Rossi.

Hot Sunday: Valentino Rossi

For all those who can't get enough of Valentino without his shirt on.

Hot Sunday: Random shirtlessness

Is that a word? Oh, who cares...

Once upon a time in MotoGP, Part II

Photoshoot Monday: Valentino Rossi

Photographer Special: Gigi Soldano

There are a lot of great racing photographers out there. Some are more awesome at track shots, other always deliver fantastic portraits. To honour our photography heroes (because without them, this Blog wouldn't exist!) we'd like to give you some photographer specials from time to time, simply because they deserve it.

We start with Italian MotoGP photographer Gigi Soldano who is currently the official team photographer for Fiat Yamaha. Here are some examples of his work, featuring Valentino Rossi, Nicky Hayden, Jorge Lorenzo, Casey Stoner and James Toseland.

Like father, like son

So, your father was a successful motorcycle racer once? Chances are, you'll be in his footsteps sooner than you think. Mostly with him by your side. And sometimes even with him as your team boss. Examples?

Los Bradl - Helmut & Stefan

The Pons in Pons Racing - Sito & Axel

And of course, the Rossi family - Graziano & Valentino

Valentino Rossi as policeman? (While I have no idea what he's saying, the mention of Biaggi at the end makes me suspect it's nothing good. :P )

Almost ancient Angel Nieto ad (he didn't look bad at all back then)

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.

Happy Halloween!

We hope our readers in and out of the USA have an awesome and fun-filled Halloween. :D
If you still need some last-minute costume suggestions, our MotoGP Hotties will try to help you.

If you wanna go all out flashy, try experimenting with some wigs. Elvis is alive, baby.

Maybe use that old diving equipment that's been lying around for ages and that's never been used?

Or how about a cheap vampire version?

Or maybe just go as yourself?

Possibly even in the nude, if you're that cheap. ;)

And if everything fails and everyone laughs at you - just make faces.

Our Hotties hope to have helped you out and wish you a Happy Helloween. :D

The world is not black and white

But if it was, it'd still be beautiful.
