How good?

Damn.<\/p>\n<p>I like Rossi, I really do, but anyone who can turn in world-class performances in two distinctly different motor sports is simply not human.  We test other athletes for performance enhancing drugs; I think it\u2019s about time that we started testing Rossi for green blood and funky internal organs.  One of these days he\u2019s going to pull off the helmet and the fake face is coming with it.  If he\u2019s part of our new lizard overlords, we\u2019ve got no chance of beating them on the racetrack.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/29\/report-motogp-racer-valentino-rossi-takes-on-formula-one-impre\/\">Autoblog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Ip_NFGKs6DQ1wnAUDuGWTqEpuS8\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Ip_NFGKs6DQ1wnAUDuGWTqEpuS8\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Ip_NFGKs6DQ1wnAUDuGWTqEpuS8\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Ip_NFGKs6DQ1wnAUDuGWTqEpuS8\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valentino Rossi, five time MotoGP world champion and all around wunderkind, has tested a 2008 Ferrari F1 car at Italy\u2019s Mugello circuit.
