I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don't give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don't know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components
Valentino Rossi

I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.
Valentino Rossi

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike... you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it's true.

I'm lucky because I don't feel too much pressure - it's only in the last hour before the race, and even then it's good, positive pressure.

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

You look at Moto3, the races are very exciting. Moto2 is fantastic, and then MotoGP is boring.

In my opinion we are at the limit now, and 17 races is really too much. With all the testing that we do now, it means we're always on the bike and it's quite difficult.

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn't quite match that improvement.

Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.
Valentino Rossi

It's a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.

I have so much respect for my opponents many of them watched the races as little children and were supporting me!

Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.
