Valentino Rossi kicked off his first day of a two day test at the Barcelona circuit with Ferrari’s Formula 1 2008 car with couple of spins on the cold and damp Spanish circuit

According to Ferrari.com website Rossi was incredibly excited to get back behind the wheel after his last experience in Mugello in November 2008 and by five o’clock, the Italian rider had completed 68 laps with a best time of 1′25″2 on slick tires and a drying out track, but five seconds slower that Kimi Raikkonen’s qualifying time at Montemelò in 2008.

“I’m glad, it was a good test, although wet in the morning and with a lack of grip we had some problems. Luckily in the afternoon the track dried, I managed to run with slicks and improve my lap times,” said Rossi.

Rossi will be back on track tomorrow for the final day of testing.

In addition to the motorcycle stunts in this video, you can also see the lovely Barcelona architecture go by. These stunts on the streets of Barcelona certainly would have given the other motorists something to look at, which is why we recommend finding places where the traffic is unlikely to get distracted… Great video, though!

From July 10 to 13 Harley Davidson will hold a great event in Barcelona. It’s the 105th anniversary of Harley Davidson and 25 years of the Harley Owners Group.

The venue is the Avenida Maria Cristina in Barcelona’s centre. It’s a great place to stay and visit and the festival program includes concerts and shows.
