RS 125 - VR46 - World Champion

The triumphant year of the Aprilia in the 125 World Championship has a name: Valentino Rossi. With 321 points earned, eleven victories (Malaysia, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, San Marino, Germany, Brazil, Great Britain, Catalunya and Indonesia), Valentino annihilates the competition and was awarded the drivers title, contributing to Aprilia winning the Constructors Title. This victory also made Rossi a household name, thanks to his extroverted character and great communication skills.
