Cairoli rides Rossi`s M1.
Although at home off-road, Cairoli also occasionally rides a road bike and spent considerable time on an R6 at Misano during the annual Italian Yamaha Fest - but nothing▨ could prepare him for the M1's 200+ horsepower.
"I was more then a little anxious, also because Valentino's bike has the opposite gear change to what I, and normal road riders are used to," said Toni. "What impressed me most was the fearsome acceleration, which frankly speaking is the only real sensation you can get wh💖en you have limited riding skills on a bike like this.
