More quotes by Valentino Rossi
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.
Valentino Rossi

Valentino Rossi
The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.
Valentino Rossi

Valentino Rossi
I have always challenged myself and it's also important to learn from the rivals. Every rider has his own style, and you have to count on some elements that cannot be changed. On the contrary, the bike or the tires can change and it's important to adapt yourself. It's up to the rider to understand what he can change and how much he can adapt.

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.

I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed
Valentino Rossi
I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
Valentino Rossi
Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.
Valentino Rossi
I have designs I like applied to my helmet, motorcycle, riding suits, gloves,and boots. I have a designer friend of mine put the designs on them for me. I think a livery on the helmet is significant in expressing a rider's personality.
