Guess most of us remember this famous clip, truly amazing, but who was the rider.

Guessing starts at:

Kenny Roberts

Randy Mamola

^ it`s an old 2 stroke but not a GP class.Possibly a one make class as the bike in front has the same color scheme or a team mate.

Probably a National champ from somewhere like Italy or Spain?
 
Scratch Randy off the list this is one of his more memorable on track performances.

^ note what a 500 GP race plate looked like in the old days,nothing like the one in question.
 
Luca Cadalora or Max B of PF Chili?
 
Could be this guy,5 times European 250 champ Alvaro Molina.

His UC 10 sponsorship and reference to Cloud 10 on the Youtube clip might be the key?

HB Honda colors a bit different and green plate for 250 back in the older days...

The name of the video is Valentino Rossi 46 salva moto in verticale moto gp so I guess that Crowster69 is right
 
Only problem being that Rossi carried Nastro Azuro sponsorship,never Cloud 10,and never wore the No 1 plate in 125cc,250cc or 500cc GP. He went straight into the 500`s after he won the 250cc title and then MotoGP bikes were he wore his first No 1 plate.

It`s Alvaro Molina,sponsored by Cloud 10, in the 250cc European Championship...title of vid is wrong.
