Rossi's Under-rods

Rossi is a very superstitious person and his pre-ride rituals are well known. Prior to riding (whether racing, qualifying, or practice), he will start his personal ritual by stopping at about 2 metres from his bike, bend over and reach his boots (thus the 2004 TV spoiler "Are you ready boots?"). Then, when arriving at his bike, he will crouch down and hold the right-side foot-peg, with his head bowed. It is not known whether he is in silent prayer, if he is getting in the correct frame-of-mind needed to ride, or paying respect to a fellow racer, family member, or friend. He will also be adjusting the fit of his leathers by standing straight up on the foot-pegs, whilst riding the pit-lane before the start of race or practice; this may merely be a matter of comfort, which has become a much-commented upon habit. He also revealed in an interview with MotoGP.com that he always puts one boot on before the other, one glove on before the other, and he always gets on the bike the same way. He also spends time with his bike in the garage the night before a race checking the positions of all the stickers.[5]

or Chris Vermolean stroking his pet mole before each race

Other riders also have superstitious such as which side to jump onto the bikes -Hopper, Edwards, Melandry or some sort of prayers (Gibernau always did before any races)

. But I can't remember any funnier than sleeping with the bike the nite before the race..

or watching the same rocky movie over and over and over again before every race like lorenzo

Because toccarsi le palle ie touching one's balls is an italian superstition for warding off bad luvck. adjusting his suit is a good excuse to have a good grope
