 
About the Repsol Honda RC211V '03 Valencia 2003
MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi showed formidable speed and consistency
throughout 2003, taking 9 victories out of 16 races. Scoring a podium
finish in every race, he extended his run of continuous top-3 finishes
to a record 22. His flamboyant performances on and off the track was
best exemplified at Valencia in the last race of the season. In the
Valencia GP Rossi came out on a flashy RC211V decorated in a 1970's
motif. The design was a result of a competition held by a Spanish
motorcycle magazine, who had invited its readers to design a paint
scheme for Rossi's bike, where Rossi himself served as the main judge.
On top of the new color scheme, the Valencia bike also featured the new
triple-exit exhaust layout with silencers removed, which Honda had used
from mid-season. Rossi displayed perfect riding in Valencia, taking
pole position and holding the lead for the entire last half of the
race. Valencia was to be Rossi's last ride on the Honda RC211V, with
him transferring to Yamaha for the 2004 season.
