I know he is quite often seen on the right side of his Yamaha M1, but he is hanging on to his right foot peg and doing something there for a few seconds/minutes. Is he saying something?

No, its one of his rituals. He puts his leathers on in a specific order and does a few superstitious things on race weekend. Read his autobiography and you will find out everything he does.

Nobody know if he says anything when he does his " rear set hold " its just something he has always done.
I guess it has worked pretty good over the last 10 years, so why change it ! |

Only Valentino knows what he is doing. He is kind of superstitious so whatever he does obviously does the work for him.
I don't think he would tell anyone what he says because it could ruin the whole magic

Hey Rob
He does all the above, but my fave bit is when he sorts out his PUMA (pants up me ar.se) as he approaches the grid on the warm up lap. |
