Explanation

'The Doctor' (Il Dottore) is Valentino Rossi's most famous and enduring nickname, used throughout his career. The nickname originated from his introduction to racing - he had originally planned to study medicine like his father (who was a doctor), and his serious, analytical approach to racing reminded people of a doctor. The name stuck and has become synonymous with Rossi, appearing on his helmets and being chanted by fans at circuits worldwide. 'The Lawyer', 'The Mechanic', and 'The Scientist' are not associated with him.
