The work that we do during the winter is very important we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time.
Valentino Rossi

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.
Valentino Rossi
Image
You try to do a technical feature: in front of me I had a strong rider who brakes hard and it's difficult to pass.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I am able to ride the bike and think clearly about strategy and tyres. I also have positive thinking. I am very constructively critical.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I'm very happy because I won a lot. I've won races and lived in a world that just gave me joy, so I remember it very positively.

Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: 'Why am I racing?' I race because I like it, because I'm really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I'm still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence.

It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on
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.
Valentino Rossi
Image
Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I was lucky. My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.
Valentino Rossi
Image
The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.
Valentino Rossi
Image
Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.
Valentino Rossi
Image
Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I am completely focused on being strong, riding fast, and enjoying myself. With the new generation of riders, only the chronometer counts. I need to be faster than them on track.
Valentino Rossi

We kept on racing, doing something that Luis [Salom] loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, life goes on.
