The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.

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.

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