Does anybody know why Valentino Rossi is called "The Doctor"?

Answer 1

Italian motorcycle racer Valentino Rossi won seven World Championships in Grand Prix racing by the time he was 26 years old, cementing his place as one of the sport's heroes. Rossi is the son of 1970s racer Graziano Rossi, and he began racing as a teenager, first with karts, then with minimotos (minibikes). In his second season racing in the Grand Prix 125cc class, he won his first World Championship (1997). Rossi moved up to the 250cc class and, in his second season, won the World Championship in 1999. He then moved up to the 500cc class, racing for Honda, and won the World Championship in 2001. Since then he has won the revised MotoGP World Championship in 2002 and 2003 with Honda, and in 2004 and 2005 with Yamaha. Charismatic, cocky and talented, he is a crowd favorite who went from being known as a clownish upstart to being dubbed "The Doctor" for his calculated and precise way of out-racing opponents.
Extra credit: Rossi wears the number 46 when he races, the same number his father used.

Answer 4

Since his dominance in 500cc and MotoGP, Rossi has used the nickname "The Doctor." This has been attributed to his "cold and clinical dismantling of his opponents" as well as his cool and calm composure in racing compared to his frenetic days in 125cc and 250cc where his performance was erratic and dangerous, resulting in numerous crashes. There are two theories as to why Rossi is entitled "The Doctor", one is Rossi adopted the nickname upon having earned a degree, which in Italy entitles one to use the title "Doctor". Another, as spoken by Graziano himself, "The Doctor because, I don't think there is a particular reason, but it's beautiful, and is important, The Doctor. And in Italy, The Doctor is a name you give to someone for respect, it's very important, The Doctor... important". Although Valentino often jokes that the name arrived because in Italy, Rossi is a very common surname for Doctors. These days Rossi rarely crashes and in fact holds the record for the longest streak of consecutive podiums. From September 8 2002 to April 18 2004, he stood on the podium at the end of all 23 races including every race in 2003.

Indy... Yeah I did cut and paste coz I knew there was more than one theory behind his nickname and that wikipedia explained it better than I could.

He calls himself "The Doctor," explaining: "In Italy, if you can do something well, you are a doctor. Also, there are many doctors called Rossi." To the profound relief of his rivals there will be only one motorcyclist called Rossi at Donnington Park this weekend.

lol! I got one from that s.o.b. today. The subject line said "hi hypocrite," and the gist of the email was that I was some satanic pervert who did unspeakably evil things to kids, called me a murderer, a hypocrite, a hypocrite,etc. I am none of those things, and would never do any of those things. He managed to get all that sh!t out of "I'm a traditional witch." and "I'm an open-minded person." ???? I emailed him back telling him that by sending that email to me he did nothing but show an astounding lack of education and immaturity which needed to be remedied, told him that witchcraft and satanism have nothing in common, and then told him not to email me ever again. Then I blocked him. I didn't take it personally, as I'm sure he wanted me to. I took it as a joke. I found his ignorance and general stupidity to be highly amusing. I laughed my *** off. So far I haven't heard back from him. Hope I never do. A star for you!
