The workers of Yamaha Motor Company in Cypress, California, received a much-welcomed visit at the American factory from MotoGP drivers Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Colin Edwards and James Toseland, who took the occasion to compliment the people who contribute to their sports successes and not just to the three tuning forks company.

Instead of the usual autographs, though, the workers and their respective families posed with the drivers and the YZR-M1 of Rossi in a unique photo; the happiness was immense, seeing as many of the people that work in the factory had never had the chance to meet their favorite racers in person.
