I am able to ride the bike and think clearly about strategy and tyres. I also have positive thinking. I am very constructively critical.

I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
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.

Image
I feel 100% a Yamaha rider in my heart. I had a long career and raced with several factory bikes, but the highlight of my career is undoubtedly with Yamaha.
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.

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.

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.

I'm really happy, and beating Marc [Marquez] at the very last chicane gives me an extra boost.

I'm lucky because I don't feel too much pressure - it's only in the last hour before the race, and even then it's good, positive pressure.

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.

I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.
Valentino Rossi

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

The tragic incident of Luis Salom reminds us that our sport, our passion, is dangerous. We know it but, in a way, we don't think about it.

In 2009, I didn't like that Yamaha signed such a young and competitive teammate [Jorge Lorenzo]. But now everything is different. We are more mature. Everyone knows his role and position. Things are clear.

I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

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

Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.

I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don't give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don't know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components

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.
