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
The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.
Valentino Rossi
Image
To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.
Valentino Rossi
Image
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.
Valentino Rossi
Image
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 kept on racing, doing something that Luis [Salom] loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, life goes on.

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.

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
I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
Valentino Rossi
Image
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.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.
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 don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.
Valentino Rossi

Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.
Valentino Rossi
Image
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
Image
Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.
