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.

More quotes by Valentino Rossi
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.
Valentino Rossi
To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.
Valentino Rossi
I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.
Valentino Rossi
Barcelona is a special track. I have always loved the layout of the circuit, but also the atmosphere and the fans are special. It has always been good fun.
Valentino Rossi
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
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
Valentino Rossi
I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.
Valentino Rossi
Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.
Valentino Rossi
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.
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.
Valentino Rossi
The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.
Valentino Rossi
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
However I am looking forward to the two new Grands Prixs both Shanghai and Laguna Seca are fantastic tracks and it will be good to race at them.
Valentino Rossi
If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.
Valentino Rossi
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
I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
Valentino Rossi
Also, when I started racing he knew a lot of people and it was more easy for me to find the first bike, so I have a good chance for sure.
Valentino Rossi
Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.
Valentino Rossi
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.
Valentino Rossi
How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?
