Our lives are full of little details: a kind word, a sweet hug, a smile, a little pat on the back.
Those little gestures might seem insignificant and too simple, but actually they have great power. They are the cement that join together the bricks of that enormous building that is the relationship with our family and friends.

Don't wait any long…

His Fiat Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo was forced to start from the back of the grid after a sighting lap problem but he recovered brilliantly and rode a great race to chase Rossi home in fourth place.
After three dry practice sessions the heavens opened thi…
