MOTOGP superstar Valentino Rossi took second place in the 2009 Monza Rally, at the weekend.
The nine-time World Motorcycle Champion, driving a Ford Focus WRC, lead the race for a time but lost the lead after spinning out of the event.
Citroen ace Rinaldo Capello took top spot on the podium, as well as winning the Master Show finale event by defeating rival Alessandro Perico's Citroen C4 WRC.
MotoGP racers Marco Simoncelli and Loris Capirossi also raced in the event; Simoncelli placed seventh, while Rizla Suzuki star Capirossi managed a lowly 15th.
Impressive stuff from Rossi, or what?
