Current MotoGP World Champion, Valentino Rossi visited the 10th Auto Expo being held in New Delhi. This is Rossi’s first visit to India and to Asia’s biggest motor show, Auto Expo 2010.



Rossi went on stage to meet India Yamaha Motor’s senior management, Mr. Yukimine Tsuji, CEO and Managing Director of India Yamaha Motor and Pankaj Dubey, National Business Head of India Yamaha Motor, as well as 300 selected guests made up of dealers and media.


Speaking to the press, Rossi said, “This is my very first visit to India and I am impressed by the beauty of this country, although sadly I did not have much time to visit Delhi. I hope to be able to come back soon and have more time to enjoy this place. Yamaha has been doing great things here and the positive response from the market is the evidence that they have been going in the right direction. The new models YZF-R15 and FZ16, which are less-powerful replicas of the R1 and the Fazer, are definitely appropriate for this market and for the characteristics of the traffic here in India. In fact I am amazed at the traffic and the incredible numbers of cars and bikes on the road all the time, by day and night!
While in Delhi, Valentino Rossi also met Bollywood Actor and Yamaha India’s brand ambassador, John Abraham.


On the subject of MotoGP racing in India, Rossi said, “I’m flying home now but it has been a very good trip; I am happy to have so many fans here in India and I hope that one day we will have the chance to race here.”
