It kind of looks like Dani Pedrosa, but the guy in the picture is smiling so I have no clue. A press stunt double perhaps?

[gm2]

depuniet to crash (sorry randy)

really going out on a limb eh

[NAKD1]

Well here it goes. :

Rossi
Lorentho
Dovi

Now that's going out on a limb and being overweight.

[Capo]

Rossi is gonna take it easy, he is already world champion. Stoner is out to pluck him on his own ground.
