Rossi to ride 800 at Brno

Valentino Rossi will be riding next season's 800cc Yamaha MotoGP bike at Brno circuit on Monday. The bike is currently in transit from Japan and Rossi has been told it will arrive on Sunday night after the race so he can have a very quick shakedown ride of it during Monday's test session.

The reigning world champion expects to spend most of the day riding the M1 but is looking forward to putting in a few laps on the new machine to feel what it is like.
