More quotes by Valentino Rossi
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

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.

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

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
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
Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.
Valentino Rossi
But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.
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
I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.
Valentino Rossi
I'm really happy, and beating Marc [Marquez] at the very last chicane gives me an extra boost.
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.
