The popularity of Valentino Rossi there is not the slightest doubt. You only have to see the yellow-colored stands around the world to be convinced of this. An audience that goes so far as to weigh on the price of juicy TV rights for the MotoGP category. But now we learn that the Doctor is also anchored in our dear little heads. A revelation from a Italian poll original.

It's summer and young and old alike are enjoying the holidays. And on the sporting side, who are the heroes of the age group from 5 to 13 years old? In Italy, a list of football players is expected. Indeed, goalkeeper Buffon garners 43% of the votes ahead of Totti at 37%, Ronaldo at 33%, Messi and Del Piero at 28%, and we even find Marchisio, Dybala, Bonucci and Chiellini.

Yes, but the first in any category is definitely Valentino Rossi. He is the one at the top. Not bad for a motorcycle rider. This says a lot about the aura of the man from Tavullia who becomes stronger than Tintin by arousing the interest of 7 to 77 year olds. Or even from 5 years in view of the investigation!
