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.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
Valentino Rossi

I am still here because I like to prove myself. I still like to ride the bike on track and enjoy the races. I still have good reasons to be in racing after so many years.
Valentino Rossi

My approach to the races hasn't changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.

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

If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.
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.

How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?
