I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

More quotes by 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
To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.
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
To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.
Valentino Rossi
The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.
Valentino Rossi
I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.
Valentino Rossi
You look at Moto3, the races are very exciting. Moto2 is fantastic, and then MotoGP is boring.
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
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
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
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
Valentino Rossi
I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.
Valentino Rossi
I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.
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.
Valentino Rossi
But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.
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.
Valentino Rossi
Friendship is very important to me. With some friends, we've known each other since we were kids and it's a very strong relationship. They always tell me what they think even when I am wrong. It's great to share with them the best moments. I also have many friends in the team, and I like to share my passion with them.
Valentino Rossi
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.
Valentino Rossi
I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed
Valentino Rossi
I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
