More quotes by Valentino Rossi
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.
Valentino Rossi
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.
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
I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.
Valentino Rossi
I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed
Valentino Rossi
Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.
Valentino Rossi
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
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
It's a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.
Valentino Rossi
I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
Valentino Rossi
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
Valentino Rossi
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
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.
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
To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.
Valentino Rossi
How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?
Valentino Rossi
You look at Moto3, the races are very exciting. Moto2 is fantastic, and then MotoGP is boring.
Valentino Rossi
The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.
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
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.
